Recently I moved to HBase 0.20.6 version and I am facing somewhat strange
problems.
I have 3 VMs cluster on 32 bit machines with HDFS 20.2. One is master and
other two are region servers. When I create 2 tables, they are created on
two different regions. I inserted 5 records manually from shell I find that
my table got split into two and is present on both the region servers. I
then tried to run my java application which first truncates the tables by
disabling, dropping and recreating tables but then I got following
exception.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.NoSuchColumnFamilyException:
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.NoSuchColumnFamilyException: Column
family files does not exist in region

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegion.checkFamily(HRegion.java:2587)

at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegion.put(HRegion.java:1363)
at
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer.put(HRegionServer.java:1783)
Not sure what is wrong. I searched on mail archives and found this link -
http://www.listware.net/201004/hadoop-hbase-user/24572-regions-assigned-multiple-times-after-disabling-table.html
After reformatting my NameNode I tried to do everything from scratch but I
also got stuck in the problem mentioned in the listware link above.
Thanks,
Gagan
