             Summary: RS holding META when restarted in a single node setup may hang infinitely without META assignment
                 Key: HBASE-8705
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8705
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.95.1
            Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
            Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.98.0


This bug may be minor as it likely to happen in a single node setup.
I restarted the RS holding META. The master tried assigning META using MetaSSH. But tried this before the new RS came up.
So as not region plan is found 
{code}
 if (plan == null) {
        LOG.warn("Unable to determine a plan to assign " + region);
        if (tomActivated){
          this.timeoutMonitor.setAllRegionServersOffline(true);
        } else {
          regionStates.updateRegionState(region, RegionState.State.FAILED_OPEN);
        }
        return;
      }
{code}
we just return without assigment.  And this being the META the small cluster just hangs.
