Phil Yang commented on HBASE-14190:
-----------------------------------
If I am not wrong, for system tables expect meta we still share logs with user
regions, so even if we have some logic to assign system tables first, we still
need wait log splitting done and we can not guarantee logs of system tables are
split first. So there may be a blocking task that we should make multi-log
feature having priority and write entries of system table in the highest
priority logs. Thanks.

> Currently the namespace table region is assigned like user regions.
> I spent several hours working with a customer where master couldn't finish
> initialization.
> Even though master was restarted quite a few times, it went down with the
> following:
> {code}
> 2015-08-05 17:16:57,530 FATAL [hdpmaster1:60000.activeMasterManager]
> master.HMaster: Master server abort: loaded coprocessors are: []
> 2015-08-05 17:16:57,530 FATAL [hdpmaster1:60000.activeMasterManager]
> master.HMaster: Unhandled exception. Starting shutdown.
> java.io.IOException: Timedout 300000ms waiting for namespace table to be
> assigned
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.TableNamespaceManager.start(TableNamespaceManager.java:104)
> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.initNamespace(HMaster.java:985)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.finishActiveMasterInitialization(HMaster.java:779)
> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.access$500(HMaster.java:182)
> at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster$1.run(HMaster.java:1646)
> at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744)
> {code}
> During previous run(s), namespace table was created, hence leaving an entry
> in hbase:meta.
> The following if block in TableNamespaceManager#start() was skipped:
> {code}
> if (!MetaTableAccessor.tableExists(masterServices.getConnection(),
> TableName.NAMESPACE_TABLE_NAME)) {
> {code}
> TableNamespaceManager#start() spins, waiting for namespace region to be
> assigned.
> There was issue in master assigning user regions.
> We tried issuing 'assign' command from hbase shell which didn't work because
> of the following check in MasterRpcServices#assignRegion():
> {code}
> master.checkInitialized();
> {code}
> This scenario can be avoided if we assign hbase:namespace table after
> hbase:meta is assigned but before user table region assignment.
