Distributed ephemeral pins used to distribute inodes under a directory
mongst MDSs which had scalability issues due to the sheer number of
subtrees. This was changed to distribute dirfrags and I think those
changes were not in octopus.

Distributing dirfrags solved a lot of scalability issues and those
changes are available in pacific and beyond. We aren't backporting to
octopus anymore, so the options are limited.
