Hello,
Here are answers:
docs.microsoft.com/.../use-discovery-service
There is no metadata svc. It was available in 4.0 and deprecated in the next, 2011 release. At the moment there is only Organization Service service. You can find description here - docs.microsoft.com/.../use-microsoft-dynamics-365-organization-service
