-----------------------------------------------
@Jimmy
I think the problem that you are mentioning here is the one that i found in
HBASE-6698 in one the QA buids.
Once the RS registers to master we tend to assignRoot and there we fail if in
the RPC layer the flag 'started' is not set.
Should we go till the assign flow and then retry the assign? Could there be
anyother better way or something? I understand that HBASE-6881 tries to solve
this. What you feel?

> In looking into a TestReplication failure, I found out sometimes assignRoot
> could fail, for example, RS is not serving traffic yet. In this case, the
> master will keep waiting for root to be available, which could never happen.
>
> Need to gracefully terminate master if root is not assigned properly.
