Andrew Purtell resolved HBASE-4774.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Incomplete
> Retain znodes for all regions in UNASSIGNED (zookeeper)
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-4774
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4774
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Brainstorming
> Components: master
> Reporter: Karthik Ranganathan
>
> We delete znodes from UNASSIGNED once a region is opened and the open is
> entered into META.
> A lot of multiple assignment issues arise from the fact that we delete this
> znode and dont have state information after the region is opened. So one
> proposal is to always retain the znodes in META and never delete the regions
> from UNASSIGNED. That way we can have a simple, deterministic state machine
> for each region. We could bucket the regions into sub-directories using a
> deterministic hash or the region prefixes.
> Note that what we put in zk is not permanent state but just the state of the
> cluster that is running. This state is invalid upon cluster restart - so we
> are still storing temporary data in zk.
> Thoughts?
