> This happens if the RS is restarted before the zk node expires. The sequence 
> is as follows:
> 1. RS1 dies - lets say its server string was HOST1:PORT1:TS1
> 2. In a few seconds RS1 is restarted, it comes up as HOST1:PORT1:TS2 (TS2 is 
> more recent than TS1)
> 3. Master gets a start up message from RS1 with the server name as 
> HOST1:PORT1:TS2
> 4. Master adds this as a new RS, tries to red
> ---- The master does not use the generation stamps to detect that RS1 has 
> already restarted.
> ---- Also, if RS1 contained meta, master would try to go to HOST1:PORT1:TS1. 
> It would end up talking to HOST1:PORT1:TS2, which spews a bunch of not 
> serving region exceptions.
> 5. zk node expires for HOST1:PORT1:TS1
> 6. Master tries to process shutdown for HOST1:PORT1:TS1 - this probably 
> interferes with HOST1:PORT1:TS2  and ends up somehow removing the reassign 
> meta in the master's queue.
> ---- Meta never comes online and master continues logging the following 
> exception indefinitely:

> Processing todo: ProcessRegionClose of test1,7094000000,1270220428234, false,
