> The main question is, when we don't have ZooKeeper telling us that a RegionServer has died, how can we be certain that > a RegionServer won't "come back"? If we get into a situation where data was still hosted on a RegionServer we thought was > dead, we would double-assign the region and that'd be a big bug. If hbase:meta points to the correct RS, theoretically, no writes should come to this RS, right? In that case, there shouldn't be too adverse of affects... if that RS crashes, the Region won't be reassigned because HMaster/ZK didn't know about it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
