             Summary: Backport HBASE-16367 "Race between master and region server initialization may lead to premature server abort" to 1.3
                 Key: HBASE-17902
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17902
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ted Yu
             Fix For: 1.3.2


This is to fix the case where hbase master always dies shortly after start.

It turned out that master initialization thread was racing with HRegionServer#preRegistrationInitialization() (initializeZooKeeper, actually) since HMaster extends HRegionServer.
Through additional logging in master:
{code}
    this.oldLogDir = createInitialFileSystemLayout();
    HFileSystem.addLocationsOrderInterceptor(conf);
    LOG.info("creating splitLogManager");
{code}
I found that execution didn't reach the last log line before region server declared cluster Id being null.

branch-1.3 has been in quiet mode leading up to the release of 1.3.1
Once 1.3.1 is released, the fix can go into branch-1.3
