-----------------------------------

1. Large batch jobs that does lookups on an hbase table in tasks would hit it 
on startup. Same for large application restarts (eg storm topologies, etc).
2. In the event of failure degradation is not as graceful, as if clients are 
not able to find meta regions they will start hammering the master when the 
master is already busy trying to recover the cluster.
3. Generally just misbehaving actors (eg poorly written applications) or buggy 
third party client implementations that users attempt to use.

Just do not see any difference if we just have a single root region on a region 
server? For all the cases, the client will also harmmering the region server 
which hosts the root region and bring down all the cluster...

My plan is to let client only contact active master for root table first, and 
later, as you said, cache the content for root table in backup master and let 
client go to backup masters as much as possible.
