 * 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>
