------------------------------------------------------------------
This seems like a big change to attempt to backport to a stable branch.
Without a backport of HBASE-10569, which I don't think we can backport to a
stable branch, meta updates after this patch is applied in the current state
would happen via a remote RPC call in a synchronized block as per my
understanding, which won't be ok.
Also, on any minor upgrade e.g. 0.98.4 to 0.98.5, it should be possible to do a
rolling restart from .4 to .5. This change would seems to require *two* rolling
restarts, and on the second restart the ordering of the master restart will be
important.
Let's take a step back. Why is this change needed in 0.98?
