> The TestAdmin test fails on trunk intermittently because it is unable to "enable" a "disabled" table. However, the root cause seems to be that much earlier, at "createTable" time the table's region got assigned to 2 region servers. And this later confuses the "disable"/"enable" code.
> createTable goes down to RegionManager.java:createRegion:
> {code}
> public void createRegion(HRegionInfo newRegion, HRegionInterface server,
>       byte [] metaRegionName)
>   throws IOException {
>     // 2. Create the HRegion
>     HRegion region = HRegion.createHRegion(newRegion, this.master.getRootDir(),
>       master.getConfiguration());
>     // 3. Insert into meta
>     HRegionInfo info = region.getRegionInfo();
>     byte [] regionName = region.getRegionName();
>     Put put = new Put(regionName);
>     put.add(HConstants.CATALOG_FAMILY, HConstants.REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER,
>         Writables.getBytes(info));
>     server.put(metaRegionName, put);
>     // 4. Close the new region to flush it to disk.  Close its log file too.
>     region.close();
>     region.getLog().closeAndDelete();
>     // 5. Get it assigned to a server
>     setUnassigned(info, true);
>   }
> {code}
> Between, after #3, but before #5, if the MetaScanner runs, it'll find this region in unassigned state and also assign it out.
> And then #5 comes along at again "force" sets this region to be unassigned... causing it to get assigned again to a different region server (as part of the RegionManager's job of assigning out regions waiting to be assigned along with region server heart beats).
> ---
> The test in question that diffs is TestAdmin:testHundredsOfTable(). I tried repro'ing this more reliable by modifying the test to have the metascanner run more frequently:
> {code}
>   TEST_UTIL.getConfiguration().setInt("hbase.master.meta.thread.rescanfrequency", 1000);// 1 seconds
> {code}
> (instead of the default 60seconds); but it didn't help improve the reproducibility.
