[~enis] RB has been updated and I'm unable to create or attach files at present.
> HRegion constructors should not create HLog

> We should get rid of HRegion creating its own HLog. It should ALWAYS get the
> log from outside.
> I think this was added for unit tests, but we should refrain from such
> practice in the future (adding UT constructors always leads to weird and
> critical bugs down the road). See recent: HBASE-11982, HBASE-11654.
> Get rid of weird things like ignoreHLog:
> {code}
> /**
> * @param ignoreHLog - true to skip generate new hlog if it is null, mostly
> for createTable
> */
> public static HRegion createHRegion(final HRegionInfo info, final Path
> rootDir,
> final Configuration conf,
> final HTableDescriptor hTableDescriptor,
> final HLog hlog,
> final boolean initialize, final boolean
> ignoreHLog)
> {code}
> We can unify all the createXX and newXX methods and separate creating a
> region in the file system vs opening a region.
