[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2482) regions in transition do not get reassigned by master when RS crashes

["Todd Lipcon (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2482?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12860085#action_12860085 ] 

Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-2482:
------------------------------------

You also can't disable the table, since it won't offline the regions it thinks are still pending open.

> Very similar to HBASE-1928, but for the general case (not just ROOT/META):
> If a region is in transition on a RS when the RS crashes, the master does not remove it from regionsInTransition when processing the RS shutdown. This is fairly easy to trigger by bringing up a RS and kill -9ing it just as it starts to get regions assigned. Those regions will get permanently lost since they're stuck in regionsInTransition and thus don't get assigned by the metascanner.
