> As per the discussion in the mail chain "HBCK reporting of possible mismatch in RS assignment" this JIRA is created.
> Consider two RS-> RS1 and RS2.
> A region tries to open in RS1. But it takes a while.  The RS1 has still not updated meta and transitioned the node from OPENING to OPENED
> So timeout assigns the region to RS2.  RS2 successfully updates the META and opens the region.
> Now RS1 tries to act on the region by first updating the META and then transiting the node to OPENING to OPENED.
> RS1 transiting the node to OPENING to OPENED will fail.  But the META entry will have RS1 as the latest.
> Now HBCK reports this as an inconsistency and if we try to scan the Region we get NotServingRegionException.
