So the status of the table in zk and in master may be diff.. Table exist might be checking one and the next steps of crate table another.. Sorry forgot that area of code.. But have seen this kind of situation. Not sure whether in some latest versions, these kind of probs are solved or not. -Anoop- On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 6:12 AM, Ted Yu <yuzhih...@gmail.com> wrote: > Which hbase release are you using ? > > Can you check master log to see if there is some clue w.r.t.
