Yes we killed the region server but datanode is still running on the node...
Sample Test scenario: Assume, I have table with pre-splits a upto z (about 26 regions). I brought down region server purposefully with regions having prefixes c and d. Then I used client API to scan data from regions with prefixes other than c and d. The response was very slow and sometimes not coming at all. My doubt was if only regions with prefix c and d are getting relocated or in transition. Why is it affecting the regions with other prefixes.... But once the region transition is over, the response is very fast as expected.
