> The Region Historian (see HBASE-533) is very useful for debugging issues on 
> the cluster involving region splitting, assignment, etc. It would be 
> additionally useful if the master could keep a separate history of 
> regionservers, when they:
> * start up and report in
> * quiesce/exit when the master tells them to
> * fail (and report error?) and exit
> * are declared dead after their lease expires
> * are assigned a region (some overlap with Region Historian but is a 
> different view)
> * are asked to close a region  (some overlap with Region Historian but is a 
> different view)
> Maybe call it a Service Historian?
> There should be event logs per regionserver identity, available even if a 
> regionserver is offline. The logs can have a simple structure: Timestamp, 
> Event, Description, like the Region Historian tables. 
> Otherwise it is still necessary to comb through logs to determine if a 
> regionserver was flaky during a period of time. 
> Additionally, if regionservers can send an error string when they abort and 
> restart, such that the errors can be viewed in a service history table, that 
> would be really helpful.
> Hyperlinks in the service history table would make it easy to follow a table 
> and its regions over the lifetime of the system, a reconstruction essentially 
> of the client view of the cluster over time.
