> Currently you might start a small cluster the first time on TRUNK -- i.e. new
> master -- but second time you do the startup you run into a couple of
> interesting issues:
> + The old root-region-location is still in place. It gets cleaned later but
> for a while on startup it does not have the 'right' address.
> + Regionserver (or a client) on startup creates a catalogtracker, a class
> that notices changes in meta tables keeping up catalog table locations.
> Starting the catalogtracker results in a check for current catalog locations.
> As part of this process, since root-region-location "exists", catalogtracker
> tries to verify root's location by doing a noop against root host, only, to
> do this it needs to do the initial rpc proxy setup. It can so happen that
> the old root address was that of the current regionserver trying to
> initialize so we'll be trying to connect to ourself to verify root location
> ONLY, we're doing this before we've setup the rpcserver and handlers -- so we
> block, and as it happens there is no timeout on proxy setup (Todd ran into
> this yesterday, I ran into it today -- its easy to manufacture).
> + So regionserver can't progress. Meantime the master can't progress because
> there are no regionservers checking in. And you can't shut it down because
> we're not looking at the right 'stop' flag
