-----------------------------------------------
@Chunhui
Can you take a look at HBAE-4748. It is similar to this but there the data
loss was w.r.t META leading to more critical data loss. But it is quite rare
but still possible. Do you have any suggestions for that?
> Concurrent processing of processFaileOver and ServerShutdownHandler may
> cause region is assigned before completing split log, it would cause data loss

> If master's processing its failover and ServerShutdownHandler's processing
> happen concurrently, it may appear following case.
> 1.master completed splitLogAfterStartup()
> 2.RegionserverA restarts, and ServerShutdownHandler is processing.
> 3.master starts to rebuildUserRegions, and RegionserverA is considered as
> dead server.
> 4.master starts to assign regions of RegionserverA because it is a dead
> server by step3.
> However, when doing step4(assigning region), ServerShutdownHandler may be
> doing split log, Therefore, it may cause data loss.
