Description

If we drop a flush or we fail close a write-ahead log, we currently shutdown the regionserver (we fail because of hdfs usually). Rather than shut themselves down, how about they restart? The restart at least in the HBASE-930 might fix the issue shaking DFSClient so it gets sense again. Even is HDFS is bad, it'll come around eventually. The HRS restarting itself plus HBASE-926 fix will make for fast recovery.
