Description

I have noticed that when the balancer is computing a plan for region moves, and a delete table is issued, there is some interference.

1. At time t1, user deleted the table.

2. This led to the master updating the meta table to remove the line for the regioninfo for a region f2a9e2e9d70894c03f54ee5902bebee6.

2013-10-04 08:42:52,495 INFO  [MASTER_TABLE_OPERATIONS-hor15n05:60000-0] catalog.MetaEditor: Deleted [{ENCODED => f2a9e2e9d70894c03f54ee5902bebee6, NAME => 'usertable,,1380876170581.f2a9e2e9d70894c03f54ee5902bebee6.', STARTKEY => '', ENDKEY => ''}]

3. However around the same time, the balancer kicked in, and reassigned the region and made it online somewhere. It didn't check the fact (nor anyone else did) that the table was indeed deleted.

4. Henceforth, all the drop tables started giving warnings like

5. The create of the same table also fails since there is still state (reincarnated, maybe) about the table in the master.
