I'd like to see old clients keep working though meta has split under them.
Perhaps the serverName in the MetaRegionServer znode proxies requests when the
region asked for is named 'hbase:meta,,1.1588230740' to actual meta table whose
regions could be elsewhere on the cluster. I suppose 'hbase:meta,,1.1588230740'
would have to be the old ROOT too?

Oh interesting idea. How about instead of proxying we could throw a
RegionMovedException to the proper meta region destination when a requests for
meta hits the RS with the ROOT region. On the RS holding the meta region we
translate the 'hbase:meta,,1.1588230740' region info to the appropriate meta
region info if split. This way we can avoid proxying which seems to make things
a bit more complicated?

Lets do a one-pager.

Sounds good.
