Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-21843:
----------------------------------------
My read of above is branch-1 doesn't have exactly this problem because it
doesn't have HBASE-20856 .
> RegionGroupingProvider breaks the meta wal file name pattern which may cause
> data loss for meta region

> A bit unusual, but managed to face this twice lately on both distributed and
> local standalone mode, on VMs. Somehow, after some VM pause/resume, got into
> a situation where regions on meta were assigned to a give RS startcode that
> had no corresponding WAL dir.
> That caused those regions to never get assigned, because the given RS
> startcode is not found anywhere by RegionServerTracker/ServerManager, so no
> SCP is created to this RS startcode, leaving the region "open" on a dead
> server forever, in META.
> Could get this sorted by adding extra check on loadMeta, checking if the RS
> assigned to the region in meta is not online and doesn't have a WAL dir, then
> mark this region as offline.
