    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5677?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13243668#comment-13243668 ] 

xufeng commented on HBASE-5677:
-------------------------------

We can reproduce this issue by following steps with 0.90:

step1:start a cluster and create a table that has many regions.
step2:disable table created in step1 by shell.
step3:kill the active master.
step3:the backup master will become active one,when the master checkin regionservers. enable the table by shell.

result:the duplicate problem issue happened.


I think the master should not provide service when it did not complete the initialization.
We can add a method in HMasterInterface 
like:
{noformat}
public boolean isMasterAvailable();

  //the master is running and it can provide service
  public boolean isMasterAvailable() {
	    return !isStopped() && isActiveMaster() && isInitialized();
  }
{noformat}


When the client getMaster,we can check it.

pls give me the suggestions,thanks.

> If region be assigned When the master is doing initialization(before do processFailover),the region will be duplicate openhandled.
> because the unassigned node in zookeeper will be handled again in AssignmentManager#processFailover()
> it cause the region in RIT,thus the master never does balance.
