             Summary: Abort split/merge procedure if there is a table procedure 
of the same table going on
                 Key: HBASE-21395
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21395
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
    Affects Versions: 2.0.2, 2.1.0
            Reporter: Allan Yang
            Assignee: Allan Yang


In my ITBLL, I often see that if split/merge procedure and table procedure(like 
ModifyTableProcedure) happen at the same time, and since there some race 
conditions between these two kind of procedures,  causing some serious 
problems. e.g. the split/merged parent is bought on line by the table procedure 
or the split merged region making the whole table procedure rollback.
Talked with [~Apache9] offline today, this kind of problem was solved in 
branch-2+ since There is a fence that only one RTSP can agianst a single region 
at the same time.
To keep out of the mess in branch-2.0 and branch-2.1, I added a simple safe 
fence in the split/merge procedure: If there is a table procedure going on 
against the same table, then abort the split/merge procedure. Aborting the 
split/merge procedure at the beginning of the execution is no big deal, 
compared with the mess it will cause...
