I finally got around to running 'hbase hbck' on our HBase cluster. We
noticed the following error being reported:
Chain of regions in table myTable contains less elements than are listed in
META; visited=671, edges=681
ERROR: Found inconsistency in table myTable
Can anyone help shed some light on what that error means and how I might
resolve it? It does seem like the table is in somewhat of a bad state ( e.g.,
there are two regions that have blank start key but have different end keys ).
We are running from the cloudera CDH3U0 distribution. Note also this table
was originally created and running for a long time under the early .89
releases. I did run both 'hbase hbck -fix' and 'check_meta.rb -fix' and still
have the above inconsistency so it looks like I need to take manual action at
this point but I'm a little stumped on how to go about it.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
