> Since truncate table with splits preserved will delete hfiles and use the 
> previous regioninfo. It can cause odd behaviors
> - Case 1: *Data appeared after truncate*
> reproduce procedure：
> 1. create a table, let's say 'test'
> 2. write data to 'test', make sure memstore of 'test' is not empty
> 3. truncate 'test' with splits preserved
> 4. kill the regionserver hosting the region(s) of 'test'
> 5. start the regionserver, now it is the time to witness the miracle! the 
> truncated data appeared in table 'test'
> - Case 2: *Data loss*
> reproduce procedure:
> 1. create a table, let's say 'test'
> 2. write some data to 'test', no matter how many
> 3. truncate 'test' with splits preserved
> 4. restart the regionserver to reset the seqid
> 5. write some data, but less than 2 since we don't want the seqid to run over 
> the one in 2
> 6. kill the regionserver hosting the region(s) of 'test'
> 7. restart the regionserver. Congratulations! the data writen in 4 is now all 
> lost
> *Why?*
> for case 1
> Since preserve splits in truncate table procedure will not change the 
> regioninfo, when log replay happens, the 'unflushed' data will restore back 
> to the region
> for case 2
> since the flushedSequenceIdByRegion are stored in Master in a map with the 
> region's encodedName. Although the table is truncated, the region's name is 
> not changed since we chose to preserve the splits. So after truncate the 
> table, the region's sequenceid is reset in the regionserver, but not reset in 
> master. When flush comes and report to master, master will reject the update 
> of sequenceid since the new one is smaller than the old one. The same happens 
> in log replay, all the edits writen in 4 will be skipped since they have a 
> smaller seqid
