----------------------------------------
if you get a negative memstore size the problem is you can't flush or close the
region. Is there any code path where after a negative memstore size a flush is
possible?
> Memstore size becomes negative in case of expensive postPut/Delete
> Coprocessor call

> We ran into a situation where the memstore size became negative due to
> expensive postPut/Delete Coprocessor calls in doMiniBatchMutate. We update
> the memstore size in the finally block of doMiniBatchMutate, however a queued
> flush can be triggered during the coprocessor calls(if they are taking time
> eg. index updates) since we have released the locks and advanced mvcc at this
> point. The flush will turn the memstore size negative since the value
> subtracted is the actual value flushed from stores. The negative value
> impacts the future flushes amongst others that depend on memstore size.
