Hi,
I have been trying to clean up of cluster clearing out a lot of unused
tables. There is this one table that had grown too big (4800 regions on a 50
node cluster). The disable command failed. But is_enabled returns true and
is_disabled returns false. However, when I try to disable the table again, I
get the TableNotEnabled exception. I have cleared the znode under /hbase/table
and restarted the master. The table is listed on the master's UI with 0 online
regions. The znode for that table under /hbase/table94 says 'DISABLED'. When
I try to run hbck -repair, I see messages that say these regions are not
deployed on any region server and "Trying to assign region". But it looks like
it never succeeds in assigning any of the regions. I just want to get rid of
this table and bring the cluster back to a consistent state . Is there way to
do this without bringing the cluster down ?
