Some table operations read and write to the metadata table. In order to verify that these operations do not buffer too much in memory, testing with a large number of tablets would be good. Some of this testing is already done. Some table operations may need to be adapted to use the conditional tablet update changes in #3929 that avoid buffering conditional update status in memory.
More test can be added to SplitMillionIT for the above cases.
