--------------------------------------
Hi [[email protected]], just a followup with this issue. We looked into the
possible causes for the exception.
We identified two possible causes.
1. If a table is added without any column families, this is not the case as we
verified that with the user.
2. This current one. As in the split process, openning daughter regions are
handled by two separate threads. The main thread will check the exception set
by two child-region-open threads and go ahead to add these regions into
onlineRegions map. It is possible that the main thread will miss the exception
since it is not declared as volatile and add the region to onlineRegions map.
Thanks

> In the region split process, daughter regions are opened in different
> threads, Throwable t is set in these threads and it is checked in the calling
> thread. Need to make it volatile so the checking will not miss any exceptions
> from opening daughter regions.
