------------------------------------------------------------------
The unit test (at least in the 0.98 patch) does not quite check for a fix for
the reported problem: "If there are any split failures then [...] block
balancing to happen forever until unless master is restarted". It checks if
there are no regions in transition after a split failure. Should we load up a
few regions on a minicluster, fail a split on one of them, then check the
master can balance? Or is it just sufficient to check there are no regions in
transition after a split failure?
Any chance the daughters may no longer be in transition at this point?:
{code}
1322 if
(regionStates.isRegionInTransition(hri_a.getEncodedName())) {
1323 regionOffline(hri_a);
1324 }
1325 if
(regionStates.isRegionInTransition(hri_b.getEncodedName())) {
1326 regionOffline(hri_b);
1327 }
{code}
