I wonder if you made a single region to span N of your troublesome regions and then just dumped all the storefiles into, enabled it, and then let hbase figure it? It should open all the storefiles. A bunch of heavy-duty compactions and some splits should ensue. Could you try it over in your test pseudo-distributed setup? St.Ack
