hi Stack, I attached the changes to that patch to the jira. It is working now. Is it possible correct an existing table created via old loadtable? I have a table with few billon records and 40k regions, took almost 2 days for the MR to create this. Don't want to do it again :)
Is it possible to write a script which iterates though regions of a given table and fixes the border keys in .META.. Will it work? Thanks, Murali Krishna ________________________________ From: stack <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 9 November, 2009 6:03:19 AM Subject: Re: Issue with bulk loader tool On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 11:24 PM, Murali Krishna.

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1962. loadtable.rb was making regions with key ranges that spanned lastrows rather than startrows. HBASE-1962 has a patch that has not been tested other than by my messing with ruby. I'll test better tomorrow but maybe you want to try it meantime? Thanks for your patience Murali. St.Ack
