Comment:

 Thank you for the patch, @shashwatmittal!

 Before we commit it, however, I'd like to know how to reproduce this
 error: after a bit of debugging, I was unable to determine how
 `get_metadata()` was returning a non-array value when it's called in
 `update_metadata()`. If there's something causing the the meta cache to
 become corrupted, for example, we need to fix that, rather than paper over
 it.

 @betimademi: Could I get you to add this to your `wp-config.php` file?

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 set_error_handler(
         function( $errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline ) {
                 error_log( "PHP Warning: $errstr in $errofile on line
 $errline" );
                 error_log( print_r( debug_backtrace(), true ) );
                 return true;
         },
         E_USER_WARNING
 );
 }}}

 This will add the stack trace to your PHP log when an error occurs. I
 recommend you monitor your log file size carefully, as this extra logging
 could cause it to fill up very quickly.

 Once you have the stack trace related to the original warning, please post
 it to this ticket, so we can investigate further.
