> This came up after the following mail in dev list
> 'infinite loop of RS_ZK_REGION_SPLIT on .94.2'.
> The following is the reason for the problem
> The following steps happen
> -> Initially the parent region P1 starts splitting.
> -> The split is going on normally.
> -> Another split starts at the same time for the same region P1. (Not sure why this started).
> -> Rollback happens seeing an already existing node.
> -> This node gets deleted in rollback and nodeDeleted Event starts.
> -> In nodeDeleted event the RIT for the region P1 gets deleted.
> -> Because of this there is no region in RIT.
> -> Now the first split gets over.  Here the problem is we try to transit the node to SPLITTING to SPLIT. But the node even does not exist.
> But we don take any action on this.  We think it is successful.
> -> Because of this SplitRegionHandler never gets invoked.
