Description

While testing improvements to hbck2, breaking and fixing a cluster's region assignments, we've found that quite a few questions can only be answered by dropping into a shell and scanning meta. This is in contrast to the nice web view we have on procedures and their locks. It would be nice to have a similar view into the content of meta. I've put together and extension to the existing table.jsp that does this. It's had a couple rounds of operator feedback. Will post up some screenshots along with the PR.
