Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-4497:
--------------------------------------
Sounds like it could work. I'm +1 on exposing version to checkAndPut and using
it for META edits. Good point, we can just do the read on the RS first.
> If region opening fails after updating META HBCK reports it as inconsistent
> and scanning the region throws NSRE

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4497
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
> Priority: Critical
>
> As per the discussion in the mail chain "HBCK reporting of possible mismatch
> in RS assignment" this JIRA is created.
> Consider two RS-> RS1 and RS2.
> A region tries to open in RS1. But it takes a while. The RS1 has still not
> updated meta and transitioned the node from OPENING to OPENED
> So timeout assigns the region to RS2. RS2 successfully updates the META and
> opens the region.
> Now RS1 tries to act on the region by first updating the META and then
> transiting the node to OPENING to OPENED.
> RS1 transiting the node to OPENING to OPENED will fail. But the META entry
> will have RS1 as the latest.
> Now HBCK reports this as an inconsistency and if we try to scan the Region we
> get NotServingRegionException.
