----------------------------------------------------------------

I think what is happening here is the mapreduce job fails, but then while the index is still in 'b', an index write fails and the index gets disabled.  The rebuilder thread in MetadataRegionObserver then kicks in and rebuilds from the disabletimestamp to the current time, and marks the index back to 'a' (even though many of the index entries from before the disabletimestamp may not have been populated).

> We've seen cases in which the MR-based index building tool (IndexTool) marks an index as active when the index building clearly did not succeed. It might be related to a timeout occurring and then not being propagated to the client.
