> Steps:
> - Have a single region table t with 15 hfiles in it.
> - Snapshot it. (was done using online snapshot from HBASE-7321)
> - Clone a snapshot to table t'. 
> - t' has its region do a post-open task that attempts to compact region.  policy does not compact all files. (default seems to be 10)
> - after compaction we have hfile links and real hfiles mixed in the region
> - t' starts splitting
> - creating split references, opening daughers fails 
> - hfile links are "split", creating hfile link daughter refs.  {{<<hfile>\-<region>\-<table>>.<parentregion>}}
> - these "split" hfile links are interpreted as hfile links with table {{<table>.<parentregion>}} -> {{<<hfile>\-<region>>\-<<table>.<parentregion>>}}  (groupings interpreted incorrectly)
> - Since this is after the splitting PONR, this aborts the server.  It then spreads to the next server.
