> While investigating an Out of Memory issue, I had an interesting observation where the master tries to assign all regions to a single region server even though 7 other had already registered with it.
> As the cluster had MSLAB enabled, this resulted in OOM on the RS when it tired to open all of them.

> In the function assignAllUserRegions(), listed above, AM fetches the server list from ServerManager long before it actually use it to create assignment plan.
> In between these, it performs a full scan of META to create an assignment map of regions. So even if additional RSes have registered in the meantime (as happened in this case), AM still has the old list of just one server.
> This code snippet is from 0.90.6 but the same issue exists in 0.92, 0.94 and trunk. Since MSLAB is enabled by default in 0.92 onwards, any large cluster can hit this issue upon cluster start-up when the following sequence holds true.
> # Master start long before the RSes (by default this long ~= 4.5 seconds)
> # All the RSes start togather but one wins the race of registering with Master by few seconds.
> I am attaching a patch for the trunk which moves the code which fetches the RS list form the beginning of the function to where it is first use.
> Apart from this change, one other HBase setting that now becomes important is "hbase.master.wait.on.regionservers.mintostart" due to MSLAB being enabled by default.
> In large clusters which keeps it enabled now must modify "hbase.master.wait.on.regionservers.mintostart" to a suitable number than the default of 1 to ensure that the master waits for a quorum of RSes which are sufficient to open all the regions among themselves. I'll create a separate JIRA for the documentation change.
