Michael Stack updated HBASE-23055:
----------------------------------
Release Note:
Adds being able to edit hbase:meta table schema. For example,
hbase(main):005:0> disable 'hbase:meta'
Took 0.7362 seconds
hbase(main):006:0> alter 'hbase:meta', {NAME => 'info', DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING =>
'ROW_INDEX_V1'}
Updating all regions with the new schema...
All regions updated.
Done.
Took 1.2138 seconds
hbase(main):007:0> enable 'hbase:meta'
Took 0.7370 seconds
Queries of hbase:meta table state go via a new addition to the HBase Registry.
Default implementation is for hbase:meta table to be ENABLED. Adds an
implementation to ZKAsyncRegistry that queries zk mirrored table state (See
MirroringTableStateManager).
Known issue is if you try to describe tables while hbase:meta is offline,
you'll get scanner timeout as we read all table descriptors even if we only
want one (TODO: refactor how descriptor is done). When hbase:meta is offline,
other requests to meta will fail. If Master crashes while hbase:meta is
disabled, on new Master, hbase:meta will be enabled again.

Also has queries of table state go via the Master now since it knows status for
user-space and system-space tables. Previous it would ask the RS carrying
hbase:meta directly; i.e. client presumed implementation.

> 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.
