Review Comment:
   What you check here, for this particular region, is if it is supposed to be 
online on a server, that the server is considered online. This does not seem to 
check anything specifically pertaining to the meta table. If you want to break 
out of this loop because meta is not available you should make an explicit 
check of the region state for the meta regions. 
   
   Also, this is the same logic as if we would just loop around again, so why 
not do that? D.R.Y.
   
   Finally, do we really need to restart the master here or is there some other 
way to address this?
