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

             Summary: Region could remain unassigned if regionserver crashes
                 Key: HBASE-11197
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11197
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Region Assignment
            Reporter: Jimmy Xiang
            Assignee: Jimmy Xiang


When looking into test failure: testVisibilityLabelsOnKillingOfRSContainingLabelsTable

and find this is what has happened:

1. try to assign a region a region server;
2. master creates a znode, and send an openRegion request to the rs;
3. rs gets the request and sends back a response, then crashed;
4. try to assign the region again with forceNewPlan = true;
5. since the region is in transition, master tries to close it and get region server stopped exception;
6. master offlines the region and removes it from transition; but can't assign the region since the dead server is not processed;
7. now SSH finally kicks in, tries to assign this region again;
8. SSH will fail to assign it since the znode is there already.

We should clean up the znode in force offline a region.
