a "hole" means when you run "hbase hbck" you see "chain of regions in table <TABLENAME> is broken; edges does not contain <STARTROW>"
What happens is the endrow of a entry in .META. points to a nonexistent start row. Based on StAck's steps for fixing the problem, we wrote tool to repair it. Essentially the tool fixes the end row so that it points to the next startrow in .META. I believe Rohit posted the code that will fix the hole... -geoff -----Original Message----- From: Mingjian Deng [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, September 04, 2011 6:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: What's .META.'s hole?
