I'm using 0.94.1. We noticed that after HBase server shutdown, the .META. table lost a few rows of the tables. I had to use hbck to repair the .META. to get those rows back. I was wondering if there could be any configuration that we didn't do properly to cause this issue...

Which HBase version are you using ? Did the HBase server experiencing shutdown carry the .META. table ?
