Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-9457:
------------------------------------
bq. perspective of a metrics table, updates will be done by the system itself
so retries have a different effect on the system. Which may be unacceptable in
some scenarios?
IMO, we can lose some stats - they are a best effort and its ok if they are off
by a bit (this may be revised later, but that's generally the way people
approach stats). I'd say lets go with the expected behavior for startup, esp if
Jimmy is gonna do the work :), and change it back later if we need to.
> Master could fail start if region server with system table is down
