M hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/HRegionServer.java Rather than compound the pause time, just have backoff multiple the original INIT_PAUSE_TIME_MS so we go 1, 2, 5, 10, ... etc. rather than 1, 2, 30, 600... and so on. Minor fixup around logging so report of failed transition is no longer reported as trace-level.
