[hbase] Stuck replay of failed regionserver edits
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-2283
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2283
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: stack


Looking in master for a cluster of ~90 regionservers, the regionserver carrying 
the ROOT went down (because it hadn't talked to the master in 30 seconds).

Master notices the downed regionserver because its lease timesout. It then goes 
to run the shutdown server sequence only splitting the regionserver's edit log, 
it gets stuck trying to split the second of three log files. Eventually, after 
~5minutes, the second log split throws:

And so on every 5 minutes.

Because the regionserver that went down had ROOT region, and because we are 
stuck in this eternal loop, ROOT never gets reallocated.
