> The current (0.90.5, 0.92.0rc2) versions of hbck detects most of region
> consistency and table integrity invariant violations. However with '-fix' it
> can only automatically repair region consistency cases having to do with
> deployment problems. This updated version should be able to handle all cases
> (including a new orphan regiondir case). When complete will likely deprecate
> the OfflineMetaRepair tool and subsume several open META-hole related issue.
> Here's the approach (from the comment of at the top of the new version of the
> file).

> /**
> * HBaseFsck (hbck) is a tool for checking and repairing region consistency
> and
> * table integrity.
> *
> * Region consistency checks verify that META, region deployment on
> * region servers and the state of data in HDFS (.regioninfo files) all are in
> * accordance.
> *
> * Table integrity checks verify that that all possible row keys can resolve
> to
> * exactly one region of a table. This means there are no individual
> degenerate
> * or backwards regions; no holes between regions; and that there no
> overlapping
> * regions.
> *
> * The general repair strategy works in these steps.
> * 1) Repair Table Integrity on HDFS. (merge or fabricate regions)
> * 2) Repair Region Consistency with META and assignments
> *
> * For table integrity repairs, the tables their region directories are
> scanned
> * for .regioninfo files. Each table's integrity is then verified. If there
> * are any orphan regions (regions with no .regioninfo files), or holes, new
> * regions are fabricated. Backwards regions are sidelined as well as empty
> * degenerate (endkey==startkey) regions. If there are any overlapping
> regions,
> * a new region is created and all data is merged into the new region.
> *
> * Table integrity repairs deal solely with HDFS and can be done offline --
> the
> * hbase region servers or master do not need to be running. These phase can
> be
> * use to completely reconstruct the META table in an offline fashion.
> *
> * Region consistency requires three conditions -- 1) valid .regioninfo file
> * present in an hdfs region dir, 2) valid row with .regioninfo data in META,
> * and 3) a region is deployed only at the regionserver that is was assigned
> to.
> *
> * Region consistency requires hbck to contact the HBase master and region
> * servers, so the connect() must first be called successfully. Much of the
> * region consistency information is transient and less risky to repair.
