Zhihong Ted Yu commented on HBASE-6310:
---------------------------------------
Final question:
Did you install 0.94.0 into a new directory tree and create symlinks based on
the tree ?
Meaning 0.94.0 wasn't installed into an existing directory where 0.92.1 jar(s)
might hang around.

> Except that the devil is in the details, ".META.,,1" is not
> ".META.,,1259448304806". Basically something writes to .META. by directly
> creating the row key without caring if the row is in the old format. I did a
> deleteall in the shell and it fixed the issue... until some time later it was
> stuck again because the edits reappeared (still not sure why). This time the
> PostOpenDeployTasksThread were stuck in the RS trying to update .META. but
> there was no logging (saw it with a jstack). I deleted the row again to make
> it work.
> I'm marking this as a blocker against 0.94.2 since we're trying to get 0.94.1
> out, but I wouldn't recommend upgrading to 0.94 if your cluster was created
> before 0.89
