> I discovered a problem while running a large cluster with region replicas enabled. From time to time, WAL flushes trigger splits, and when the region being split is a secondary replica, this split causes problems. The {{SplitTableRegionProcedure}} does not permit splitting secondary replicas. The RegionServer will send a {{ReportRegionStateTransitionRequest}} to the HMaster, which will send back an error response, logging as it does so:

> As a result, the RegionServer will retry the {{ReportRegionStateTransitionRequest}} infinitely. The RegionServer is doing this in a thread pool task that nothing is waiting on, so it's not really bothered by this. In a large cluster, the HMaster request handling threads its the logging system will eventually become saturated by the volume of these requests coming from many RegionServers.
