Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-2291:
----------------------------------------

I was looking at the --fix option it makes alot of assumptions, but does not 
check for these assumptions.   Looking at the tool I am not convinced that it 
would not misinterpret a split as a hole in the metatatable and "fix it" 
messing up the table.   The tool should probably check the table is offline and 
that the tablet has not location before "fixing" a hole.  Also the deletion of 
multiple locations seems arbitrary and dangerous, it should probably check in 
zookeeper and see what tservers are alive.  If all are alive it probably should 
not delete any locations.

> The existing CheckForMetadataProblems only checks the metadata table. It 
> should also check the root table, now that those are split up.
