I have a distributed Hbase cluster that will not start. It looks like there is a table that is an inconsistent state: 2013-12-10 07:40:50,447 FATAL org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster: Unexpected state : ct_claims,204845|81V6SO4EF56DD1TKOIU7AS4L5D,1386050670937.6d138b97cde8bc3e49ff34639913109c. state=PENDING_OPEN, ts=1386690050445, server=rhf-045,60020,1386689069486 .. Cannot transit it to OFFLINE.
Is there a way to manually set the table to OFFLINE? I have tried deleting the /hbase node in zookeeper. I tried bringing up the master and then a region server and vice versa. In the case of bringing the master up first, the master starts. As soon as I bring up a region server the master goes down. My thought is to move the tables to OFFLINE, (assuming it is possible), and try bringing up the cluster again. hbck will not work as none of the region servers are up. Any one have any other ideas? Thanks, Raheem
