Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-15549:
-----------------------------------
See https://github.com/apache/hbase/pull/3612
Finally I decided to break maintenance mode first to see if we can decouple
HMaster and HRegionServer, and the PR shows it is possible.
I will try to see how to better land the big patch.
Thanks.

> I thought we had an issue to do this but I can't find it so here is a new one.
> Currently, in master branch, HMaster is a RegionServer and carries meta
> regions such as hbase:meta. Disable this facility by default until better
> thought through (I think we should undo master ever carrying regions; FBers
> are thinking we should go forward with notion that master carries meta/system
> regions. TODO). I want to disable it because this facility is not finished
> and meantime I want to test new stuff coming in on master branch w/o this new
> feature getting in the way.
> Parking here a patch that has how to disable master carrying regions and a
> probably redundant test that ensures all works when master is not carrying
> meta regions (added because it WASN'T working for me -- but was pilot error).
