> Delete the master znode after a master crash

> Key: HBASE-5926

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: master, scripts
> Affects Versions: 0.96.0
> Reporter: nkeywal
> Assignee: nkeywal
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.96.0

> This is the continuation of the work done in HBASE-5844.
> But we can't apply exactly the same strategy: for the region server, there is
> a znode per region server, while for the master & backup master there is a
> single znode for both.
> So if we apply the same strategy as for a regionserver, we may have this
> scenario:
> 1) Master starts
> 2) Backup master starts
> 3) Master dies
> 4) ZK detects it
> 5) Backup master receives the update from ZK
> 6) Backup master creates the new master node and become the main master
> 7) Previous master script continues
> 8) Previous master script deletes the master node in ZK
> 9) => issue: we deleted the node just created by the new master
> This should not happen often (usually the znode will be deleted soon enough),
> but it can happen.
