Ted Yu commented on HBASE-4278:
-------------------------------

The patch contains changes for src/docbkx/book.xml which I assume was unintended.
+1 on patch for Slab.java.

> Just a race condition in 4027. Occurs due to a spinlock that happens if the slab allocator is empty. When the slab allocator gets gets a slice of memory returned, if multiple threads are locked, both can be freed at the same time, leading one to throw an exception.
