This brings me to another topic: We should document all these known problems and their fixes along with the relevant tools in the HBase Reference Guide (http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#trouble.tools.builtin) I would also like address recurring issues such as HBASE-5090 somewhere in the book. The FAQ section not seem quite the right place. Maybe a new Tips & Tricks section? -- Lars
