Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-13937:
--------------------------------------
With patch v3, same loop of {{TestDistributedLogSplitting}} on branch-1.1 is
passing consistently for me; +1 stands.
> Partially revert HBASE-13172

> HBASE-13172 is supposed to fix a UT issue, but causes other problems that
> parent jira (HBASE-13605) is attempting to fix.
> However, HBASE-13605 patch v4 uncovers at least 2 different issues which are,
> to put it mildly, major design flaws in AM / RS.
> Regardless of 13605, the issue with 13172 is that we catch
> {{ServerNotRunningYetException}} from {{isServerReachable()}} and return
> false, which then puts the Server to the {{RegionStates.deadServers}} list.
> Once it is in that list, we can still assign and unassign regions to the RS
> after it has started (because regular assignment does not check whether the
> server is in {{RegionStates.deadServers}}. However, after the first assign
> and unassign, we cannot assign the region again since then the check for the
> lastServer will think that the server is dead.
> It turns out that a proper patch for 13605 is very hard without fixing rest
> of broken AM assumptions (see HBASE-13605, HBASE-13877 and HBASE-13895 for a
> colorful history). For 1.1.1, I think we should just revert parts of
> HBASE-13172 for now.
