                 Key: HBASE-1156
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1156
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: master, regionserver
    Affects Versions: 0.19.0
            Reporter: Jim Kellerman
            Assignee: Jim Kellerman
             Fix For: 0.20.0


Currently, if a region server crashes and then restarts, it cannot be given 
work until its lease times out. This is because a lease is only identified by 
ipaddress:portnumber. If leases were also identified with the start code, the 
server could be given work immediately, because its log file includes the start 
code and will not interfere with the recovery of the log from its previous 
incarnation.

Additionally, we wait in a master server thread for the server to leave the 
dead servers list because dead servers are not identified by their start code 
either. Waiting in a master server thread ties up that thread (possibly for 
quite some time), and rather than waiting, we should throw an exception as the 
region server already knows how to deal with an exception thrown from a 
regionServerStartup call.

Finally, there is a bit of code cleanup that needs to be done in the region 
server when it receives a MSG_CALL_SERVER_STARTUP response from the master. It 
should not set up the HLog until reportForDuty completes
successfully (which is what it does on the initial reportForDuty call.
