Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-4377:
------------------------------------
bq. Post HBASE-451, table data from HConnectionManager.listTables() comes from
the files system and is cached by the HMaster, and ignores the meta table
This seems like a bug - clients should never have to have direct access to
HDFS! I filed HBASE-4548
> [hbck] Offline rebuild .META. from fs data only.

> In a worst case situation, it may be helpful to have an offline .META.
> rebuilder that just looks at the file system's .regioninfos and rebuilds meta
> from scratch. Users could move bad regions out until there is a clean
> rebuild.
> It would likely fill in region split holes. Follow on work could given
> options to merge or select regions that overlap, or do online rebuilds.
