------------------------------
Sounds good Enis. What should RS do then?
> On first cluster startup, RS aborts if root znode is not available

> Key: HBASE-5849
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5849
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: master, regionserver, zookeeper
> Affects Versions: 0.92.2, 0.96.0, 0.94.1
> Reporter: Enis Soztutar
> Assignee: Enis Soztutar
>
> When launching a fresh new cluster, the master has to be started first, which
> might create race conditions for starting master and rs at the same time.
> Master startup code is smt like this:
> - establish zk connection
> - create root znodes in zk (/hbase)
> - create ephemeral node for master /hbase/master,
> Region server start up code is smt like this:
> - establish zk connection
> - check whether the root znode (/hbase) is there. If not, shutdown.
> - wait for the master to create znodes /hbase/master
> So, the problem is on the very first launch of the cluster, RS aborts to
> start since /hbase znode might not have been created yet (only the master
> creates it if needed). Since /hbase/ is not deleted on cluster shutdown, on
> subsequent cluster starts, it does not matter which order the servers are
> started. So this affects only first launchs.
