------------------------------

Ok on 1. and 2 (I opened new issue to account for the case you discovered in 
your review where its possible we miss a key if many instances and they span a 
block -- hbase-1841).

What about this change:

{code}
@@ -860,7 +859,7 @@
       if (trailer.metaIndexCount == 0) {
         return null; // there are no meta blocks
       }
-      if (metaIndex == null) {
+      if ((metaIndex == null) || (metaIndex.count == 0)) {
         throw new IOException("Meta index not loaded");
       }
       byte [] mbname = Bytes.toBytes(metaBlockName);

{code}

Is it possible that metaIndex is loaded but empty?

Thanks Schubert
