I had a table 'Keyword' a while back which I tried to disable. I tried
multiple times but I always got the error "It is taking too long to disable
the table". (or something like that.). Anyways, after a while I tried the
list command in shell and the table did not show up. So I tried to create
it. Now I am in s strange situation wherein if I try to create the table, I
get a TableExistsException, and if I try to disable/drop the table, I get
the TableNotFoundException
hbase(main):018:0> disable 'Keyword'
NativeException: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableNotFoundException: NwKeyword
hbase(main):019:0> enable 'Keyword'
NativeException: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableNotFoundException: NwKeyword
hbase(main):020:0> truncate 'Keyword'
NativeException: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableNotFoundException: NwKeyword

Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can work around this?
Thanks,
Hari
