stack commented on HBASE-23055:
-------------------------------
bq. Whether we can change the table descriptor is not important here.
Hard-coded FIRST_META_REGION_INFO is an aspect of this issue. The hard-coding
needs to be undone if we are to be able to edit hbase:meta. More on this in
subsequent versions of the patch.
bq. And maybe we can implement this on a feature branch?
Will do.
Need to do a writeup on how we'll do splittlable meta in a way we can migrate
too and that allows old clients to keep working.

> hbase:meta is currently hardcoded. Its schema cannot be change.
> This issue is about allowing edits to hbase:meta schema. It will allow our
> being able to set encodings such as the block-with-indexes which will help
> quell CPU usage on host carrying hbase:meta. A dynamic hbase:meta is first
> step on road to being able to split meta.
