-----------------------------------------------
bq.Maybe we could do something better since we're not going to send a close...
like I mentioned, I have to hbck -fix to reassign the region after using this,
maybe we could call assign in the unassign method when force=true?
I have just called the assignRegion if force=true. And have added javadoc
saying possible double assignment and use hbck -fix.
> If from Admin we try to unassign a region forcefully, though a valid region
> name is given the master is not able to identify the region to unassign.

> The following is the problem
> Get the exact region name from UI and call
> HBaseAdmin.unassign(regionname, true).
> Here true is forceful option.
> As part of unassign api
> {code}
> public void unassign(final byte [] regionName, final boolean force)
> throws IOException {
> Pair<HRegionInfo, HServerAddress> pair =
> MetaReader.getRegion(this.catalogTracker, regionName);
> if (pair == null) throw new
> UnknownRegionException(Bytes.toStringBinary(regionName));
> HRegionInfo hri = pair.getFirst();
> if (force) this.assignmentManager.clearRegionFromTransition(hri);
> this.assignmentManager.unassign(hri, force);
> }
> {code}
> As part of clearRegionFromTransition()
> {code}
> synchronized (this.regions) {
> this.regions.remove(hri);
> for (Set<HRegionInfo> regions : this.servers.values()) {
> regions.remove(hri);
> }
> }
> {code}
> the region is also removed. Hence when the master tries to identify the
> region
> {code}
> if (!regions.containsKey(region)) {
> debugLog(region, "Attempted to unassign region " +
> region.getRegionNameAsString() + " but it is not " +
> "currently assigned anywhere");
> return;
> }
> {code}
> It is not able to identify the region. It exists in trunk and 0.90.x also.
