-----------------------------------
@Anoop,
bq. Are we clearly mentioning about this API some where? When to use this.
I didnt see any where. For this raised an IA(HBASE-8076).
@Ram,
bq. Any specific use case for this?
No specific use case but as HMaster#offlineRegion is exposed to
client,unathenticated user can use this HBaseAdmin#offline API and mark regions
as offline even if we enable security. It will be more dangerous.
bq. If this method is used only in hbck then should we configure some CPs while
executing hbck so that this hook is called?
its presently used in hbck. IMHO it can be used in client but need to use
carefully.
Please correct me if wrong.
> provide pre/post region offline hooks for HMaster.offlineRegion().
