>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Region Assignment
>    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
>            Reporter: Harsh J

> Observed this on a cluster:
> {code}
> FATAL org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster: Unhandled exception. Starting shutdown. 
> java.lang.NullPointerException 
> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager.replicaRegionsNotRecordedInMeta(AssignmentManager.java:2799) 
> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager.assignAllUserRegions(AssignmentManager.java:2778) 
> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager.processDeadServersAndRegionsInTransition(AssignmentManager.java:638) 
> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager.joinCluster(AssignmentManager.java:485)

> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster$1.run(HMaster.java:1481) 
> at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) 
> {code}
> It looks like {{FSTableDescriptors#get(…)}} can be expected to return null in some cases, but {{AssignmentManager.replicaRegionsNotRecordedInMeta(…)}} does not currently have any handling for such a possibility.
