Error: It took too long to wait for the table

[Hari Sreekumar]

Hi,

    What is the cause of this exception? Is there a timeout value that can
be modified to avoid this error? Does this error mean any problem with my
setup, or is it normal to get these errors? In that case, how can I drop
this table without messing up the cluster? My table has ~40 columns and 2
million rows.

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.hadoop.hbase.RegionException: Retries
exhausted, it took too long to wait for the table CustomerData to be
disabled.
