Oleg Zhurakousky commented on HBASE-7191:
-----------------------------------------
Actually, this affects other versions as well
{code}
HBase 0.94.1
{code}
Further more; FSUtils spits out a misleading message
{code}
String msg = "File system needs to be upgraded."
+ " You have version " + version
+ " and I want version " + HConstants.FILE_SYSTEM_VERSION
+ ". Run the '${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase migrate' script.";
{code}
As far as I can tell 'migrate' script is no longer available
One would think 'hbase hbck -fixVersionFile' would do the trick, but that
requires a running instance of HBase which we can't start unless those two
files are in tact
The current workaround is to temporarily change the value of 'hbase.rootdir' ->
start/stop hbase (this will re-create the two files) -> copy those files to the
original 'hbase.rootdir' and change 'hbase.rootdir' to point back to the
original one. However, this is obviously a hack. May what really needs to
happen is to have and offline option of 'hbase hbck -fixVersionFile'.
> HBCK - Add offline create/fix hbase.version and hbase.id

> Key: HBASE-7191
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7191
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hbck
> Affects Versions: 0.96.0
> Reporter: Enis Soztutar
>
> One of our clients run into a problem, in which they have the hbase.root.dir,
> and cluster data, but their hbase.id and hbase.version files are corrupted.
> HMaster creates those on start, but not if there is already existing data.
> We can add smt like --fixIdFile, and ability for HBCK to do some offline
> repairs for the version file.
