Francis Christopher Liu commented on HBASE-25761:
-------------------------------------------------

[~stack] Sounds good I'll integrate it into the doc. Online meeting sounds good too. I think the meeting time in PST might need to be an hour later to accomodate the difference in hour that DST introduces.

> One of the proposals up in the split-meta design doc suggests a sleight-of-hand where the current hard-coded hbase:meta,,1 Region is leveraged to serve as first Region of a split hbase:meta but also does double-duty as 'ROOT'. This suggestion was put aside as a complicating recursion in chat but then Francis noticed on a re-read of the BigTable paper, that this is how they describe they do 'ROOT': "The root tablet is just the first tablet in the METADATA table, but is treated specially -- it is never split..."
> This issue is for playing around with this notion to see what the problems are so can do a better description of this approach here, in the design:
