Instinctively think second to be the cause. Did you try flushing it to disk and then killing and found strange behavior? - just one more experiment to remove the role of instinct :-) Thanks!

I installed the Hbase distribution on a one node cluster (my test linux box) I wrote a small client that creates a table, and inset some data in it. Then if I do a pkill -9 java and restart Hbase, everything is gone (no table and thus no data in that table any more). I would have expected that hbase recovers well from such a 'kill' (which could simulate a node crash). Am I missing something? Is that because I only use one node? is that because the data is in memory only and needs to be flushed to disk? Thanks TR
