>
> The way dead servers are processed is that a ServerCrashProcedure is launched
> for a server after it is added to the dead servers list.
> Every time a server is added to the dead list, a counter "numProcessing" is
> incremented and it is decremented when a crash recovery procedure finishes.
> Since, adding a dead server and recovering it are two separate events, it can
> cause inconsistencies.
> If a master failover occurs in the middle of the crash recovery, the
> numProcessing counter resets but the ServerCrashProcedure is replayed by the
> new master. This causes the counter to go negative and makes the master think
> that dead servers are still in process of recovery.
> This has ramifications on the balancer that the balancer ceases to run after
> such a failover.
