Try to see how testLabelKey and testLabelValue was used previously and "foo", 
"bar", "qux" was used on others and I created this ticket to unify the way we 
do this, along with seeing these key value pair being created in the slave and 
master tests.

Dispite the current patch, I do think we can simply and unify the test label 
creation. Maybe create a CREATE_LABEL_PAIR(id) to make it more obvious which 
key pairs are being tested. The comments in the test code need to carry a bunch 
of context, to make sense out of the label transformations (especially across 
the library border for the hooks tests).

This is all in spirit of reducing the tech debt we introduced. We are on the 
same page on not introducing more lines/key pairs than before. Let us iterate 
on this and get back to you.
