Izaak Rubin commented on HBASE-743:
-----------------------------------

I've updated the HBase Wiki page on migrations, mentioning the issue of 
unrecovered redo logs:

http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/HowToMigrate

I'm not sure if there's a way for HBase to go through and merge-in these redo 
logs - if so, I'll post it to the migration page as well.  If something like 
this doesn't exist, it might be a good idea to make it.

> I migrated several hbase-0.1.3 instances to hbase trunk and even if I stop 
> hbase-0.1.3 cleanup it leaves redo logs on hdfs. The problems is that when 
> migrating the data with hbase-trunk it fails because it finds these redo-logs 
> and quit with a error message saying that we should reinstall the old hbase 
> and shut it down cleanly and that in theory it erases the redo logs. The work 
> around has been to delete the redo logs manually... which is bad.
