Incorrect use of listStatus() in HBase region initialization.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4161
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4161
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: regionserver
Reporter: Pritam Damania
While opening a region, the HBase regionserver tries to list all the children
in a "recovered.edits" directory. This directory may not exist and depending on
the version of HDFS listStatus() might return null or an exception. If it does
throw an exception the entire process of opening the region is aborted, just
because the recovered.edits directory is not present.
