stack commented on HBASE-7103:
------------------------------

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1297 adds a Stat to the create 
call.  It is not yet committed.  Patrick says that what we are doing is the 
best that can be done given current state of the API.

TRUNK patch looks good to me.

bq. Why so? Because now if the znode exists we will not start the split anyway 
so there is only one split right going on? 

That sounds right Ram.  So the execute that created the SPLITTING znode should 
be legit in rollback removing it.  Good stuff.
                
> Need to fail split if SPLIT znode is deleted even before the split is 
> completed.

> This came up after the following mail in dev list
> 'infinite loop of RS_ZK_REGION_SPLIT on .94.2'.
> The following is the reason for the problem
> The following steps happen
> -> Initially the parent region P1 starts splitting.
> -> The split is going on normally.
> -> Another split starts at the same time for the same region P1. (Not sure 
> why this started).
> -> Rollback happens seeing an already existing node.
> -> This node gets deleted in rollback and nodeDeleted Event starts.
> -> In nodeDeleted event the RIT for the region P1 gets deleted.
> -> Because of this there is no region in RIT.
> -> Now the first split gets over.  Here the problem is we try to transit the 
> node to SPLITTING to SPLIT. But the node even does not exist.
> But we don take any action on this.  We think it is successful.
> -> Because of this SplitRegionHandler never gets invoked.
