Summary
Addressing TODO in storage/model/metafile.py in Metafile.get_class() function:
Rationale
A more robust get_class method. Right now, it is vulnerable to name changes and is somewhat "hard-coded". To make the implementation more reliable, I suggest adding a new field to each object where it can be reliably and easily recognized.
Changes
