Steve, All Some patches to consider for the next merge window. The first two patches changes querying the EAs to use compounding and adds a new query info compound helpers we can use for all other open/query info/close places as well. The third patch adds an Open/Query/Close compound before setitng an EA in order to make sure that we do not add so many EAs that we go beyond the 64k limit that we have in the client for queries. That used to be very annoying since you could keep adding more and more large EAs until the point where you went above 64k, at which point you could no longer list or access the EAs from the client any more :-( Unfortunately it adds an extra roundtrip to setting an EA but that should be fine. Setting EAs should be relatively uncommon operation.
