----------------------------------------------
Thanks [~chia7712] and [~yuzhih...@gmail.com] for the reviews.
> cleanIfNoMetaEntry() uses encoded instead of region name to lookup region

> In RegionStates.cleanIfNoMetaEntry()
> {{if (MetaTableAccessor.getRegion(server.getConnection(),
> hri.getEncodedNameAsBytes()) == null) {}}
> {{regionOffline(hri);}}
> {{FSUtils.deleteRegionDir(server.getConfiguration(), hri);}}
> }
> But api expects regionname
> {{public static Pair<HRegionInfo, ServerName> getRegion(Connection
> connection, byte [] regionName)}}
> So we might end up cleaning good regions.
>
> ADDENDUM:
> The scenario mentioned occurs when zkless assignment is used. With zk-based
> assignment without the patch what could occur is the daughter regions are
> offlined and have no hdfs directory but have entries in meta. The daughter
> meta entries will prolly be picked up by the client causing NSREs.
