stack commented on HBASE-9480:
------------------------------
[~jeffreyz] Agreed. There are too many corner cases and then there is amount
of resources consumed getting this whole rube goldberg machine working
reliably. There are scaling issues too (see the flurry talk at the last hbase
meetup). We should have a chat about it -- post 0.96.0 rollout? There are a
few ideas floating about. Should come up with a strawman at least while the
pain is fresh in our minds.
(Cc'ing [~fenghh] since he expressed interest in this area too as is [~jxiang]
of course)

> Came across this issue (HBASE-9338 test):
> 1. Client issues a request to move a region from ServerA to ServerB
> 2. ServerA is compacting that region and doesn't close region immediately. In
> fact, it takes a while to complete the request.
> 3. The master in the meantime, sends another close request.
> 4. ServerA sends it a NotServingRegionException
> 5. Master handles the exception, deletes the znode, and invokes regionOffline
> for the said region.
> 6. ServerA fails to operate on ZK in the CloseRegionHandler since the node is
> deleted.
> The region is permanently offline.
> There are potentially other situations where when a RegionServer is offline
> and the client asks for a region move off from that server, the master makes
> the region offline.
