---------------------------------------
Yes, that's correct.
> Two situations where we could open a region with smaller sequence number

> Key: HBASE-11099
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11099
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.99.0
> Reporter: Jeffrey Zhong
> Fix For: 0.99.0
>
>
> Recently I happened to run into code where we potentially could open region
> with smaller sequence number:
> 1) Inside function: HRegion#internalFlushcache. This is due to we change the
> way WAL Sync where we use late binding(assign sequence number right before
> wal sync).
> The flushSeqId may less than the change sequence number included in the flush
> which may cause later region opening code to use a smaller than expected
> sequence number when we reopen the region.
> {code}
> flushSeqId = this.sequenceId.incrementAndGet();
> ...
> mvcc.waitForRead(w);
> {code}
> 2) HRegion#replayRecoveredEdits where we have following code:
> {code}
> ...
> if (coprocessorHost != null) {
> status.setStatus("Running pre-WAL-restore hook in coprocessors");
> if (coprocessorHost.preWALRestore(this.getRegionInfo(), key,
> val)) {
> // if bypass this log entry, ignore it ...
> continue;
> }
> }
> ...
> currentEditSeqId = key.getLogSeqNum();
> {code}
> If coprocessor skip some tail WALEdits, then the function will return smaller
> currentEditSeqId. In the end, a region may also open with a smaller sequence
> number. This may cause data loss because Master may record a larger flushed
> sequence Id and some WALEdits maybe skipped during recovery if the region
> fail again.
