Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-4927:
---------------------------------------
Verison initially committed with this patch made the HRegionInfo's comparator
declare region ['','') smaller ['', 'A'). Previously it was the other way
around.
In the TestOfflineMeta* tests, disableTable call eventually calls
AssignmentManager#getRegionsOfTable(table). This returns 3 regions instead of
4. This is because this uses a "boundary" region with has [startkey='',
endkey=''). The change likely left either the begin or end region out with
this call.
The core problem is because the definintion of greater than or less than
regions is inconsistent wrt to '' start and end keys.
> CatalogJanior:SplitParentFirstComparator doesn't sort as expected, for the
> last region when the endkey is empty

> When reviewing HBASE-4238 backporting, Jon found this issue.
> What happens if the split points are (empty end key is the last key, empty
> start key is the first key)
> Parent [A,)
> L daughter [A,B),
> R daughter [B,)
> When sorted, we gets to end key comparision which results in this incorrector
> order:
> [A,B), [A,), [B,)
> we wanted:
> [A,), [A,B), [B,)
