stack commented on HBASE-14495:
-------------------------------

The failure is because:

+ We are testing region only running scans while putting and scanning.
+ We are running a separate flusher thread so there is flushing while the 
scanning and putting are going on.
+ When done, we interrupt the flushing thread, ONLY, we could be in the middle 
of a flush and so the flush will fail and a failed flush brings on an abort
+ Only, we are not in a regionserver context so no abort of the region is 
done... we just eat the exception.
+ Now the test is done so we go to close the region on our way out. It is this 
which is hanging (We should not be doing a 'normal' close, we should be 
aborting).

I can fix the test but let me look more to make sure there is nothing I can do 
in the mvcc accounting to make it so we ride over such a situation as 
artificial as it is.... i may just run into another obstacle trying to clean 
close a region that should be aborting....
