Jimmy Xiang commented on HBASE-9204:
------------------------------------
In HBASE-9052, we enhanced AM a little to make split parent not assignable if
master is not restarted. I think we can do the same in this case.
I can post a patch: put such regions (if any) in split state so that they won't
be able to assign from master.
> An Offline SplitParent Region can be assigned breaking split references

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Region Assignment
> Affects Versions: 0.98.0, 0.95.1, 0.94.10
> Reporter: Matteo Bertozzi
> Priority: Blocker

>
> An offline split parent region can be assigned by using 'assign' from shell.
> This may trigger a compaction on the split parent region that should be
> offline, breaking the references of the two daughters.
> The easy way to test this is:
> * disable compactions
> * create a table and insert some row
> * split
> * shutdown the master (otherwise there's a state checked inside the
> AssignmentManager)
> * start the master
> * assign the region marked as OFFLINE => true, SPLIT => true (the compaction
> on region startup will probably break the reference of the two daughters)
