Description

We had a scenario in production where a merge operation had failed as below

2024-02-11 10:53:57,715 ERROR [PEWorker-31] assignment.MergeTableRegionsProcedure - Error trying to merge [a92008b76ccae47d55c590930b837036, f56752ae9f30fad9de5a80a8ba578e4b] in table1 (in state=MERGE_TABLE_REGIONS_CLOSE_REGIONS)

Now when we do rollback of failed merge operation we see a issue where region is in state opened until the RS holding it stopped.

Rollback create a TRSP as below

2024-02-11 10:53:57,719 DEBUG [PEWorker-31] procedure2.ProcedureExecutor - Stored [pid=26674602, state=RUNNABLE:REGION_STATE_TRANSITION_GET_ASSIGN_CANDIDATE; TransitRegionStateProcedure table=table1, region=a92008b76ccae47d55c590930b837036, ASSIGN]

and rollback finished successfully

We create a procedure to open the region a92008b76ccae47d55c590930b837036. Intrestingly we didnt close the region as creation of procedure to close regions had thrown exception and not execution of procedure. When we run TRSP it sends a OpenRegionProcedure which is handled by AssignRegionHandler. This handlers on execution suggests that region is already online

Sequence of events are as follow
