Here is a log of what I did as a result of which I do not see any tables. TABLE1 is a relatively bigger table for my table sizes, but not by HBase standards. I had loaded 15-20 versions of ~2G files into this table.
machine_name:~ hadoop$curl http://localhost:8080 TABLE1 TABLE2 TABLE3 TABLE4 machine_name:~ hadoop$hbase shell HBase Shell; enter 'help<RETURN>' for list of supported commands.
