   The biggest issue now is META dir delete..  In one direction we are trying NOT to keep any persisted data in zk no? Till 2.1.7 even for META table also, we never had an issue even if that is not there.. The bootstrap code was assigning existing META table to new RS.  Some way or the other, I dont mind, we need a solution for this.  As per the existing code itself, am not sure why we need to delete the entire dir with assumption of partial bootstrap.  There is a dir creation steps and then tableInfo create.. The tableInfo file create is atomic too. Every step we check if dir/file exists . Correct?   If this META delete was not there  things would have been easy.  We have supported cluster drop and create with version <2.1.6..  But from 2.1.7 this is very diff because of this META delete.
