Howdy, I was trying to use "add_table.rb" to restore a table that I had copied the hdfs files for, and I had some trouble. Now when I run "hbase hbck" I get the following:
... ERROR: Region test,,1296067171940.0200bfe58a9e9fadf8ebfa523c47332f. found on server 10.101.45.82:60020 but is listed in META to be on server ip-10-117-86- 81.ec2.internal:60020. ERROR: Region test,,1296067171940.0200bfe58a9e9fadf8ebfa523c47332f. found on server 10.100.225.127:60020 but is listed in META to be on server ip-10-117-86- 81.ec2.internal:60020. Detected 2 inconsistencies. This might not indicate a real problem because these regions could be in the midst of a split. Consider re-running with a larger value of -timelag. ... (I am running Version 0.89.20100924+28, r ) Now, this table is not at all important to me. However, if I drop it, these two regions end up surviving, and hbck gives me a different inconsistency message (... not listed in META...). Is there a way that I can just zot these regions out and make hbase hbck happy again? I do have a fair amount of data in some other tables that I would rather not lose. Also, does any one have any pointers for getting add_table.rb to work properly? Whenever I run it, it creates the table schema ok, but it seems to miss the mark on getting the regions registered. They either get assigned to the wrong regionservers or they dont get assigned to anything. In either case, when I do a scan of the table, I come up with nothing. Thanks! --Chris
