Major Description
In some cases, upon deleting a tablet, a tablet server may fail to delete some blocks, and then fail to delete the tablet metadata, leading to a crash since failure to delete metadata is a fatal error. That's what happened in the below logs, but it's unclear why the blocks failed to be deleted, and why the server stayed up for a couple minutes after before receiving a delete tablet request, and ultimately crashing. Following the crash, the server was able to start up successfully.
