Module metatable

source code

Handling table metadata in the dc.(table|column)meta tables.

This has been a mediocre plan, and it's almost unused these days except to locate RDs for tables. Hence, we should tear this entire thing down and have the table->RD mapping stowed somewhere else.

Or at least give up on the extra connection and have the clients use base.getTableDefForTable(connection, tableName) directly.
