VerifyReplication is something you could use. It's not replication specific, just named that way because it was initially conceived as a tool to verify that replication is working correctly. Unfortunately it will need to ship all data from the remote cluster, which is quite inefficient. I think we should include a better way with HBase, maybe using Merkletrees, or at least hashes of ranges, and compare those.

Hi Everybody, I do wish to upgrade to a more recent hbase soon. However the choice isn't entirely mine. Does anybody know how to verify the contents between tables across clusters after a copytable operation? I see replication.VerifyReplication , but that seems replication specific. Maybe I should have began with replication in the first place... On Fri, Aug 8, 2014 at 9:51 PM, lars hofhansl <la...@apache.org> wrote: Hi Colin, > >you might want to consider upgrading.
