stack commented on HBASE-5986:
------------------------------
Regards 1. and 2., what guarantees do we have that the daughter will not have
split by the time we go into our wait on the daughters to come online?
> Clients can see holes in the META table when regions are being split

> We found this issue when running large scale ingestion tests for HBASE-5754.
> The problem is that the .META. table updates are not atomic while splitting a
> region. In SplitTransaction, there is a time lap between the marking the
> parent offline, and adding of daughters to the META table. This can result in
> clients using MetaScanner, of HTable.getStartEndKeys (used by the
> TableInputFormat) missing regions which are made just offline, but the
> daughters are not added yet.
> This is also related to HBASE-4335.
