@pebeto Is this really the way this works?

Hi @ablaom. Yes, tags must be a Vector of Dictionaries with key and value, as expected in mlflow (i.e. https://mlflow.org/docs/latest/rest-api.html?highlight=tags#experimenttag).

Also is good to mention that I'm working on the next big change for this library (9fe5e9a), where I'm pairing everything with the last mlflow specification (including types).

This just seems weird. If I want to assign the value "bar" to a tag called "foo", and a value "gala" to a tag called "missy", I would have expected to pass Dict("foo" => "bar", "missy" => "gala"). But my reading of the proposed doc clarification is different: I should pass [Dict("key" => "foo", "value" => "bar"), Dict("key" => "missy", "value" => "gala")] instead?

I also found it counterintuitive, which is why I opened the pull request.

Right. Then I'll leave to @pebeto to finalise the review. Perhaps we can make this more intuitive at the next breaking release.
