Hi Akash

There is a tool to view the HFile in textual format. You can see the usage
by typing the below command.

$ ${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.HFile.

>From the logs are you able to find out the reason for the region becoming
inactive.  
Not sure if this the tool that you intended to know.

Regards
Ram

Subject: Contacting a wrong regions

Hi All,
We currently have an issue in our HBase cluster that 2 of our regions on a
regions server have gone down. We can't enable or disable the regions. Are
there any tools to get the data out of it from HDFS files ?
We are ok with recreating the indices only for the keys in that region.

Cheers,
Akash A
