-----------------------------------------------
@Jimmy
I did not raise any issue to fix that. So let this JIRA be there to fix this.
bq.HBASE-6881 is just partially fixing this issue, by making the issue happens
a little less.
Yes, right
Seeing the HMaster startup code and the RS start up code, retry should be the
ideal way.
Adding a retry logic in the assign code on ServerNotRunningYetException will be
it affect normal regions also?

> In looking into a TestReplication failure, I found out sometimes assignRoot
> could fail, for example, RS is not serving traffic yet. In this case, the
> master will keep waiting for root to be available, which could never happen.

> Need to gracefully terminate master if root is not assigned properly.
