This query is regarding the online_merge script from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1621
My setup is hbase - cdh3u1, hadoop-cdh3-u0. When I am running this script, I encounter the problem at the following line: info = Writables.getHRegionInfo(result.getValue(HConstants::CATALOG_FAMILY,HConstants::REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER)) The result.getValue(HConstants::CATALOG_FAMILY,HConstants::REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER) returns a null and Writable.getHRegionInfo throws a null-pointer-exception. I am wondering in what cases can I get null returned from result.getValue(HConstants::CATALOG_FAMILY,HConstants::REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER) ? Thanks Kisalay
