> When starting up HBase cluster (2.4.17), I met NPE and it prevents HMaster from starting up. I have to restart the HMaster.
> My cluster contains 1 HMaster, 2 RS (HBase-2.4.17) and 1 Hadoop node (2.10.2).

> I am not sure what causes the *rs* to be null but maybe we can add a check to make sure this NPE is captured and properly handled.
> Restart the HMaster and this exception will disappear. I have attached the full log from HMaster for this case. I run into this exception when using HBase 2.4.17 but I think it might also happen in the latest branch since the code of isRegionOnline is the same.
> h1. Fix
> This bug happens rarely. I think we can add a simple check to know whether rs is null and then decide whether to keep waiting or directly shutdown the HMaster.
> I assume that if HMaster wait for more time, it will get correct responses from regionservers.
> I have a simple PR to fix it.
