Hi there All- I apologize if this issue has been raised before... I have done ALOT of googling on this issues... and finally decided to just write here to the source :)
Background: I work on the incubating Apache Trafodion project. I am currently using HBase 1.0 with Cloudera 5.4.5. I have tried many times to upgrade my cloudera cluster (to get the latest version of HBase) and have always failed due to my HBase master failing to come backup do to a Region suck in Transition. It is always the hbase:meta. In the past I just assumed that the upgrade feature just didn't actually work... and so even though frustrating... I just let it go. But now I have come across this issue again, in a slightly different way... and this makes me think it is an HBase problem. I am preparing for an upgrade, and because of this I decided to remove the "Trafodion".jar files that are located in the ../hbase/lib directory. I thought this might be the cause of not being able to upgrade, because I was leaving the trafodion files in this directory. I removed them, then did a deploy client config (since some configs were stale), and then did a restart. Now I have a region stuck in transition, even before the upgrade! Everything I have seen on the web, has not worked in the past. How do I get pass this issue? Do I have no choice but to do a full uninstall/reinstall and lose my data? Thanks all for any help! -- Thanks, Amanda Moran
