Thanks for you comments.
Using BOGUS_SERVER_NAME to fix is following the original design of RSGroup.
If we choose default group servers, then how can we know a table has regions on
servers that not belong to its group?
Maybe we can use balancer to correct this. But we will not recognize this in
current displayed info.
> System table RIT STUCK if their RSGroup has no highest version RSes

> Key: HBASE-22767
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22767
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: rsgroup
> Reporter: Xiaolin Ha
> Assignee: Xiaolin Ha
> Priority: Major
>
> AM chooses highest version region servers as participants for system tables,
> including META table. If system table group has no highest version region
> servers, then the reassignment of their regions will be always the BOGUS
> server defined in RSGroup.
> In our test environment using branch-2.2, we isolate system tables in a
> rsgroup containing only one server. And when upgrading RSs, we have met the
> problem that META is always assigned to the BOGUS server while the group
> server has already been online for a while. META RIT is stuck and can not be
> recovered by hbck2.
> I made a UT reproduce this problem, steps are:
> 1. add a group, move 1 server to it;
> 2. move meta table to the group;
> 3. restart the group server and downgrade its version;
> 4. meta rit stuck.
>
> ROOT cause is AM filters highest version RSs for system tables. So if we do
> not change the versions of system table group servers, but upgrade the
> versions of other group servers, then if there is reassignment for any system
> tables, such as balancer moving their regions, RIT STUCK!!
