      In BinaryMetadataService and BinaryMetadataProcessor, the writeMetadata methods taking a Blob now return a new Blob instead of a boolean.

      Description

      nuxeo-binary-metadata directly updates the binary's underlying File when it updates the metadata for a Blob. This is incorrect as the binary may be shared, its hash will be incorrect, and also for binaries coming from remote storage like S3 it's actually in a cache so may disappear and the effect of the write would be undone.

      Instead, exiftool should work on a temporary file and create a new Blob from it.
