Description

Got the following during testing,

1. On a given machine, kill "RS process id". Then kill "HMaster process id".
2. Start RS first via "bin/hbase-daemon.sh --config ./conf start regionserver.". Start HMaster via "bin/hbase-daemon.sh --config ./conf start master".

One region of a table stayed in closing state.
