> Project: HBase

> Components: test

> This test case is from HBASE-13317.
> The test uses a custom region server to simulate reportForDuty in a master
> failover case. This custom RS would start, then the primary master would
> fail, then the custom RS would reportForDuty to the second master after
> master failover.
> The test occasionally will hang or timeout.
> The root cause is that during first master initialization, the master would
> assign meta (and create and assign namespace table). It is possible that the
> meta is assigned to the custom RS, which has started (place a rs node on the
> ZK), but will not really check-in and be online. Then the master will go thru
> multiple re-assignment, which can be lengthy and cause trouble.
> There are a couple of issues I see in the master assignment code:
> 1. Master puts all the region servers obtained from ZK rs node into the
> online server list, including those that have not checked-in via RPC. And we
> will assign meta or other regions based on whole list.
> 2. When one assign plan fails, we don't exclude the failed server when
> picking the next destination, which may prolong the assignment process.
> I will provide a patch to fix the test case. The other issues mentioned are
> up to discussion.
