> When a region is stuck in transition for significant time, any attempt to
> take snapshot on the table would keep master handler thread in forever
> waiting state. As part of the creating snapshot on enabled or disabled table,
> in order to get the table level lock, LockProcedure is executed but if any
> region of the table is in transition, LockProcedure could not be executed by
> the snapshot handler, resulting in forever waiting until the region
> transition is completed, allowing the table level lock to be acquired by the
> snapshot handler.
> In cases where a region stays in RIT for considerable time, if enough
> attempts are made by the client to create snapshots on the table, it can
> easily exhaust all handler threads, leading to potentially unresponsive
> master. Attached a sample thread dump.
> Proposal: The snapshot handler should not stay stuck forever if it cannot
> take table level lock, it should fail-fast.
