   /**
    * Try to update some region states. If the state machine prevents
    * such update, an error message is returned to explain the reason.
    *
    * It's expected that in each transition there should have just one
    * region for opening/closing, 3 regions for splitting/merging.
    * These regions should be on the server that requested the change.
    *
    * Region state machine. Only these transitions
    * are expected to be triggered by a region server.
    *
    * On the state transition:
    *  (1) Open/Close should be initiated by master
    *      (a) Master sets the region to pending_open/pending_close
    *        in memory and hbase:meta after sending the request
    *        to the region server
    *      (b) Region server reports back to the master
    *        after open/close is done (either success/failure)
    *      (c) If region server has problem to report the status
    *        to master, it must be because the master is down or some
    *        temporary network issue. Otherwise, the region server should
    *        abort since it must be a bug. If the master is not accessible,
    *        the region server should keep trying until the server is
    *        stopped or till the status is reported to the (new) master
    *      (d) If region server dies in the middle of opening/closing
    *        a region, SSH picks it up and finishes it
    *      (e) If master dies in the middle, the new master recovers
    *        the state during initialization from hbase:meta. Region server
    *        can report any transition that has not been reported to
    *        the previous active master yet
    *  (2) Split/merge is initiated by region servers
    *      (a) To split a region, a region server sends a request
    *        to master to try to set a region to splitting, together with
    *        two daughters (to be created) to splitting new. If approved
    *        by the master, the splitting can then move ahead
    *      (b) To merge two regions, a region server sends a request to
    *        master to try to set the new merged region (to be created) to
    *        merging_new, together with two regions (to be merged) to merging.
    *        If it is ok with the master, the merge can then move ahead
    *      (c) Once the splitting/merging is done, the region server
    *        reports the status back to the master either success/failure.
    *      (d) Other scenarios should be handled similarly as for
    *        region open/close
