Jieshan Bean commented on HBASE-8251:
-------------------------------------

Yes, one corner case is META RS is killed just before new assignment happening(Killing happens either during calling processRegionInTransitionAndBlockUntilAssigned or verifyMetaRegionLocation), so rit is false and metaRegionLocation is false(Only under this scenario may trigger a new assignment).
It may cause data-loss and double assignment.
Thanks, Chunhui, Rama and Jeffrey.
I'm thinking about adding a check(check for whether currentMetaServer is a online server or a processing dead server, need to change something in ServerManager) before calling assignMeta.

> I think HBASE-5918 could not fix this issue. In HMaster#assignRootAndMeta:
> 1. Assign ROOT.
> 2. Block until ROOT be opened.
> 3. Assign META.
> 4. Block until META be opened.
> SSH is enabled after step 4. So if the RS who host ROOT dies before step 4, master will be blocked.
