Folks,

We had a power outage here, and we are trying to bring our Hadoop/HBase cluster 
back up. Hadoop has been just fine - came up smoothly. HBase has not. Our HBase 
master log file is filled with just one msg:

2011-03-17 10:50:08,712 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FSUtils: Waiting for 
dfs to exit safe mode...
2011-03-17 10:50:18,714 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FSUtils: Waiting for 
dfs to exit safe mode...

After the power outage, before we tried bringing things back up, we took 
several nodes off-line, as their hard drives were failing and needed replacing. 
Don't know if the loss of those nodes has anything to do with the error msg 
that we are seeing.

Could anybody give us some advice as to where to look for the cause of the 
HBase failure? We would very much appreciate guidance.
