stack commented on HBASE-18840: ------------------------------- Sorry [~zyork]. I missed these pings. Patch looks fine. Bunch of utility. There is nothing like this in HBCK already? You need this committed? No harm I'd say. An alternative might open a region over the hbase:meta in a read-only mode and then scan out the RegionInfo. This would skirt log splitting so if a crash, you'd be missing edits but it'd probably be as accurate if not more so than this approach. We need this latter but can come after this goes in. > Add functionality to refresh meta table at master startup > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-18840 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18840 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: HBASE-18477 > Reporter: Zach York > Assignee: Zach York > Attachments: HBASE-18840.HBASE-18477.001.patch, > HBASE-18840.HBASE-18477.002.patch, HBASE-18840.HBASE-18477.003.patch > > > If a HBase cluster’s hbase:meta table is deleted or a cluster is started with > a new meta table, HBase needs the functionality to synchronize it’s metadata > from Storage. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
