Review comment:
        meta_class introduce backward compatibility problems for users who 
already have metaclass defined for their operator ( they will have to inherit 
from BaseOperatorMeta) 
    
    what happens when user creates operator without DAG? 
    1. we can fix set_upstream  we can just finalize Operator implementation 
when we add it to dag ( thus no metaclass is required)
