My HBase cluster was in a bad state with all regionservers terminated.
After waiting for bin/stop-hbase.sh to shutdown for a long time, I hard
killed HMaster. When I restarted hbase, I found table_c did not show up
under 'list' but I could not re-create it.
What is the best way to rectify this situation? It's ok to wipe out all
tables and start over if necessary.
Thanks in advance.
