             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.90.4
            Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan

I am not sure if this bug was already raised in JIRA.
In our test cluster we had a scenario where the RS had gone down and 
ServerShutDownHandler started with splitLog.
But as the HDFS was down the check waitOnSafeMode throws IOException.
{code}
try {
        // If FS is in safe mode, just wait till out of it.
        FSUtils.waitOnSafeMode(conf,
          conf.getInt(HConstants.THREAD_WAKE_FREQUENCY, 1000));  
        splitter.splitLog();
      } catch (OrphanHLogAfterSplitException e) {
{code}
We catch the exception
{code}
} catch (IOException e) {
      checkFileSystem();
      LOG.error("Failed splitting " + logDir.toString(), e);
    }
{code}
So the HLog split itself did not happen. We encontered like 4 regions that was 
recently splitted in the crashed RS was lost.

Can we abort the Master in such scenarios? Pls suggest.
