Description

If we don't reserve a system tag types now, let's say 0-64(total tag type range is 0-255). We'll have a hard time when introducing a new system tag type in the future because the new tag type may collide with an existing user tag type as tag is open to users as well.

ram_krish, anoop.hbase How do you guys think?

Thanks!
