I can't believe I posted a note about using deletemany on the !METADATA table! That was pretty reckless of me.
If you really deleted your table data doing this, and your table was online at the time, you need to restart your cluster. That alone might fix the problem. Otherwise, you are going to need to kill the master, delete the fate transactions, restart the master, and properly delete the tables. -Eric On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 8:00 AM, Losco, Jason [USA] <[email protected]>wrote: > I recently tried to remove some tables, during which I was getting a > shell thread stuck on IO error.
