>
> This is on branch-1 based code only.
> Here's the sequence of events.
> # A regionserver opens a new region. That regions looks like it should split.
> # So the regionserver starts a split transaction.
> # Split transaction starts execute
> # Split transaction encounters an error in stepsBeforePONR
> # Split transaction starts rollback
> # Split transaction notifies master that it's rolling back using
> HMasterRpcServices#reportRegionStateTransition
> # AssignmentManager#onRegionTransition is called with SPLIT_REVERTED
> # AssignmentManager#onRegionSplitReverted is called.
> # That onlines the parent region and offlines the daughter regions.
> However the daughter regions were never created in meta so all that gets done
> is that state for those rows gets OFFLINE. Now all clients trying to get the
> parent instead get the offline daughter.
