J-D,

  I was able to run the 0.90.3 rc hbck on our hbase cluster and it does give 
more detail.  It gives more details.  Two specific errors:

   - ERROR: (regions <region1> and <region2>) Two regions have the same 
startkey:
   - ERROR: (regions <region1> and <region2>) There is an overlap in the region 
chain.

 That is more detail, although I'm not really sure what to do with that 
information.  Is there a way to effectively repair from these two errors?

 Thanks

 Andy

Subject: Re: inconsistencies reported by hbck...

Would you be able to patch in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3695 and see what hbck
tells you now? Else you could try using the 0.90.3 rc0 which has it
too: http://people.apache.org/~stack/hbase-0.90.3-candidate-0/
