------------------------------------
[~xucang] this feature is mostly used by HBCK2? how are preparing to use it in
1.x?

> Offline discussed with [~stack] and [~Apache9]. We all agreed that we need to
> introduce a mechanism to 'force complete' a stuck procedure, so the AMv2 can
> continue running.
> we still have some unrevealed bugs hiding in our AMv2 and procedureV2 system,
> we need something to interfere with stuck procedures before HBCK2 can work.
> This is very crucial for a production ready system.
> For now, we have little ways to interfere with running procedures. Aborting
> them is not a good choice, since some procedures are not abort-able. And some
> procedure may have overridden the abort() method, which will ignore the abort
> request.
> So, here, I will introduce a mechanism to bypass the execution of a stuck
> procedure.
> Basically, I added a field called 'bypass' to Procedure class. If we set this
> field to true, all the logic in execute/rollback will be skipped, letting
> this procedure and its ancestors complete normally and releasing the lock
> resources at last.
> Notice that bypassing a procedure may leave the cluster in a middle state,
> e.g. the region not assigned, or some hdfs files left behind.
> The Operators need know the side effect of bypassing and recover the
> inconsistent state of the cluster themselves, like issuing new procedures to
> assign the regions.
> A patch will be uploaded and review board will be open. For now, only APIs in
> ProcedureExecutor are provided. If anything is fine, I will add it to master
> service and add a shell command to bypass a procedure. Or, maybe we can use
> dynamically compiled JSPs to execute those APIs as mentioned in HBASE-20679.
