-----------------------------------------------
@Chunhui
Yes, i took a look at HBASE-5819.
HBASE-5816 is also due to the serverShutdownHandlerEnabled variable. I think
'serverShutdownHandlerEnabled' usage should be more clear.
I think that the problem of HBASE-4880 is applicable for the user regions but
for root and META the updates are done by the region servers themselves and the
problem of HBASE-4880 should not be there. Because if after updating the META
entry to ROOT if transitioning to OPENED fails, and even if closing the region
also fails, any way till the META is available the system is not going to
function. Correct me if am wrong Chunhui.

> If on master restart it finds the ROOT/META to be in RIT state, master tries
> to assign the ROOT region through ProcessRIT.
> Master will trigger the assignment and next will try to verify the Root
> Region Location.
> Root region location verification is done seeing if the RS has the region in
> its online list.
> If the master triggered assignment has not yet been completed in RS then the
> verify root region location will fail.
> Because it failed
> {code}
> splitLogAndExpireIfOnline(currentRootServer);
> {code}
> we do split log and also remove the server from online server list. Ideally
> here there is nothing to do in splitlog as no region server was restarted.
> So master, though the server is online, master just invalidates the region
> server.
> In a special case, if i have only one RS then my cluster will become non
> operative.
