---------------------------------------
bq. actually looking for split meta to become available as an off-by-default
option in 0.98
Yes, we are looking for root and split meta as an off-by-default option in
0.98.
Stack had a suggestion of doing this hiding of root by adding an pbuf entry in
meta znode which determines whether it holds the meta location or root
location. Depending on this field, the clients will know the presence of root.
Master will have a config depending on which it will create root table and set
this field in meta znode. For 0.98/branch-1, we can have this config in master
to be turned off by default so no root stuff is touched and the clients wont
know the presence of root at all. Also, clients wont need upgrade when the
master turns on the switch for root.
