\class ROOT::RNTupleDescriptor
\ingroup NTuple
\brief The on-storage metadata of an RNTuple
 
Represents the on-disk (on storage) information about an RNTuple. The metadata consists of a header, a footer, and
potentially multiple page lists.
The header carries the RNTuple schema, i.e. the fields and the associated columns and their relationships.
The footer carries information about one or several cluster groups and links to their page lists.
For every cluster group, a page list envelope stores cluster summaries and page locations.
For every cluster, it stores for every column the range of element indexes as well as a list of pages and page
locations.
 
The descriptor provides machine-independent (de-)serialization of headers and footers, and it provides lookup routines
for RNTuple objects (pages, clusters, ...).  It is supposed to be usable by all RPageStorage implementations.
 
The serialization does not use standard ROOT streamers in order to not let it depend on libCore. The serialization uses
the concept of envelopes and frames: header, footer, and page list envelopes have a preamble with a type ID and length.
Substructures are serialized in frames and have a size and number of items (for list frames). This allows for forward
and backward compatibility when the metadata evolves.
