Hey JM, It is not a "random ID" that a region has, but an MD5 of the prefix, including the table name, the startkey, and the time the region was created (that part is also missing from the current description. I am not sure when that description ever was correct. Also, the hbase:meta uses a different hash, Jenkins, to encode the prefix and the missing trailing dot character is indicating that.
