We just had all RegionServers die in a test cluster. All with the following exception. (This is CDH4.2.1 with HBase 0.94.7 build against it)
Strangely HDFS is up and running (I can ls all directories, create files in it, etc. HDFS's fsck reports that all is well), yet we had the RSs die with this. This almost looks like a race where the directories under .logs were yanked away while they were still in use. I plan to investigate this further. In any event, has anybody seen this issue (or anything similar to this) before? When this happened there was no load on the cluster (other than some write from OTSDB).
