stack commented on HBASE-3141:
------------------------------

This looks like an issue Todd was playing with a while back where RS hosting 
.META. would connect to itself to get data from .META. before RPC had been put 
up.  He put up a sketch patch over here 
http://github.com/toddlipcon/hbase/commit/c1236fca54e25c36561d428b6755a950ca1c208f.
  In it, he introduces a flag in rpc server  that is set true when rpc has 
started.  When false, throws exceptions "Not Yet Accepting Connections". 

Lets make a test that this is actually an issue.  Maybe the early rpc is just 
handled post listener/responder startup?

> Starting up an RPC server is done in two steps.  In the constructor, we 
> instantiate the RPC server.  Then in startServiceThreads() we start() it.
> If someone RPCs in between the instantiation and the start(), it seems that 
> bad things can happen.  We need to make sure this can't happen and there 
> aren't any races here.
