Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-1143:
-------------------------------------------

I tried this. What I see after killing the .META. holding RS is that we lose a 
bunch of edits so we only see an old version of the .META. table coming back. 
That version, if you killed your RS not long after the cluster startup, is a 
snapshot of .META. on the last shutdown. What I saw is a bunch of "Current 
assignment of ...", just like a fresh start!

Now I restarted HBase and tested again but I first flushed .META. and, guess 
what, everything was fine. IMO we should flush/compact .META. like crazy until 
we are able to not lose edits. That region is always small so it seconds < 1 
sec to do.

> region count erratic in master UI (kill server hosting root or meta and see 
> how count goes awry).... make sure you have a bunch of reions in there
