Strange folder inside WALs

I see a folder named hregion-47776456 inside /hbase/WALs folder.

After a bit of digging, I see its being created by createRegion function in
HRegion. What is the use of this folder?

There is no mention of this folder in
http://www.larsgeorge.com/2009/10/hbase-architecture-101-storage.html.
(Admittedly its pretty old)

Hbase Version : Opensource 1.0
