> This bug occurs in following scenario. 
> 1. For some reason, the regionLocation isn't set in .META. table for some regions. Perhaps createTable didn't complete successfully.
> 1. The table of those regions is being disabled.
> 2. HMaster restarted.
> 3. At HMaster startup, it tries to transition from disabling to disabled state. It got the following exception.
> java.lang.NullPointerException: Passed server is null
>         at
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.ServerManager.sendRegionClose(ServerManager.
> java:581)
>         at

> In AssignmentManager.rebuildUserRegions, it added such regions to its regions list,
>       if (regionLocation == null) {
>         // Region not being served, add to region map with no assignment
>         // If this needs to be assigned out, it will also be in ZK as RIT
>         // add if the table is not in disabled and enabling state
>         if (false == checkIfRegionBelongsToDisabled(regionInfo)
>             && false == checkIfRegionsBelongsToEnabling(regionInfo)) {
>           regions.put(regionInfo, regionLocation);
>         }
> Perhaps, it should be
>       if (regionLocation == null) {
>         // Region not being served, add to region map with no assignment
>         // If this needs to be assigned out, it will also be in ZK as RIT
>         // add if the table is not in disabled and enabling state
>         if (true == checkIfRegionBelongsToEnabled(regionInfo) {
>           regions.put(regionInfo, regionLocation);
>         }
