Working on ds-backup, I am concerned about performance of extracting
all of the datastore metadata. Both Tomeu and Ivan have warned me
about performance and memory impact. I want to repro the problem asap.
If a full metadata dump can be acceptably fast, a lot of complications
and error conditions
Ivan, (or anyone close to the Bitfrost implementation)
