>
> A region's state exists in multiple maps in the RegionManager: 
> unassignedRegions, pendingRegions, regionsToClose, closingRegions, 
> regionsToDelete, etc.
> One of these race conditions was found in HBASE-534.
> For HBase-0.1.x, we should just patch the holes we find.
> The ultimate solution (which requires a lot of changes in HMaster) should be 
> applied to HBase trunk.
> Proposed solution:
> Create a class that encapsulates a region's state and provide synchronized 
> access to the class that validates state changes.
> There should be a single structure that holds regions in these transitional 
> states and it should be a synchronized collection of some kind.
