 When admin / HBCK puts the master in maintenance mode, she can optionally supply an ephemeral znode path that the master will watch. As soon as all ephemeral nodes goes away, master will go out of maintenance mode. Every instance of HBCK creates an ephemeral znode, so that even more than one instance is running, there won't be issues if one finishes, while the others are going. wdyt?

[~enis] Have you see comments of [~stack] above.

To be more clear, -1 on a patch that has master doing a rollback of a state set by external administrator's tool. HBCK already leaves the cluster in a state of disequilibrium when killed mid-processing... Usual way this is addressed is HBCK gets rerun... not master does cleanup.

The first patch is creating ephemeral node when hbck running and master do watch it.  When hbck abort,  master will rollback the state.  But as [~stack] comments,  "Usual way is HBCK gets rerun, not master cleanup".

> This was what I did on cluster with 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT built Thursday:
> Run 'hbase hbck -disableSplitAndMerge' on gateway node of the cluster
> Terminate hbck early
> Enter hbase shell where I observed:
> {code}
> hbase(main):001:0> splitormerge_enabled 'SPLIT'
> false
> 0 row(s) in 0.3280 seconds
> hbase(main):002:0> splitormerge_enabled 'MERGE'
> false
> 0 row(s) in 0.0070 seconds
> {code}
> Expectation is that the split / merge switches should be restored to default value after hbck exits.
