sulabhc St^Ack: that fixed most of the issue, just one last question, I removed
some META entries how do I put it back ?
sulabhc St^Ack: putting from Hbase-shell does not seem to be possible
St^Ack sulabhc: it is but the content in .META. is serialized Writable of
HRegionInfo.
St^Ack Can you find the region in the fs that you want to put back?
St^Ack If so, cat its .regioninfo
St^Ack it has binary format of the HRegionInfo that needs to be in .META. and
a txt version.
St^Ack You'll need to create an HRegionInfo, serialize it as bytes, and then
put that into .META.
St^Ack Look around in the catalog package, the MetaEditor class, for how to do
this from java.
St^Ack We should really make this easier to do in shell...
St^Ack or look in bin to see how we do some of this via (j)ruby
