I'm pretty sure Srinivas scanned .META. in his own environment, not mine. ;-) > On Sep 10, 2012 12:19 PM, "Stack" <[email protected]> wrote: >> What happens if you scan .META. in shell? >> >> hbase> scan ".META." >> >> Does it all show? Thanks, Stack. Strangely, all regions do show up in .META. The table in question has 256 regions, and all are listed as rowkeys in .META. Perhaps there's a column missing from region definitions which is preventing the UI from rendering the regions? I'll dig through the code, but are there specific columns known to be expected the UI? Fwiw, this particular table was the result of a rename_table.rb attempt that didn't go as smoothly as I would've liked. I had to dig through .META. and resolve inconsistencies. Norbert
