  /**
   * Information about a region. A region is a range of keys in the whole keyspace of a table, an
   * identifier (a timestamp) for differentiating between subset ranges (after region split)
   * and a replicaId for differentiating the instance for the same range and some status information
   * about the region.
   *
   * The region has a unique name which consists of the following fields:
   * <ul>
   * <li> tableName   : The name of the table </li>
   * <li> startKey    : The startKey for the region. </li>
   * <li> regionId    : A timestamp when the region is created. </li>
   * <li> replicaId   : An id starting from 0 to differentiate replicas of the same region range
   * but hosted in separated servers. The same region range can be hosted in multiple locations.</li>
   * <li> encodedName : An MD5 encoded string for the region name.</li>
   * </ul>
   *
   * <br> Other than the fields in the region name, region info contains:
   * <ul>
   * <li> endKey      : the endKey for the region (exclusive) </li>
   * <li> split       : Whether the region is split </li>
   * <li> offline     : Whether the region is offline </li>
   * </ul>
   *
   * In 0.98 or before, a list of table's regions would fully cover the total keyspace, and at any
   * point in time, a row key always belongs to a single region, which is hosted in a single server.
   * In 0.99+, a region can have multiple instances (called replicas), and thus a range (or row) can
   * correspond to multiple HRegionInfo's. These HRI's share the same fields however except the
   * replicaId field. If the replicaId is not set, it defaults to 0, which is compatible with the
   * previous behavior of a range corresponding to 1 region.
