stack commented on HBASE-19562:
-------------------------------

bq. ....is it possible to recover a meta table using just the storefiles...

Would opening a region over the hbase:meta dir in hdfs and scanning its content 
do for you?

These files should go because they are a duplication of the meta info that can 
be stale.

After filing this issue last night, I think a straight purge is not possible, 
not till we figure rolling upgrade.

Let me take a look at HBASE-18440 Mr [~zyork]

> Purge mirror writing of region and table info into fs at .tableinfo and 
> .regioninfo
