This has been discussed in Hbase slack channel also. Posting the discussion from there for completion.
Huaxiang 11:03 PM @Nand You can use --fixMeta option to fix region holes. saintstack 11:05 PM @Nand versions? Upgrade to get better fixing 2.1.4 has little Nand 11:05 PM hbck2 version: 1.0.0 hbase version: 2.1.4 However upgrading to latest version is not feasible in near future for my org. Is there a risk if I just enable fixing region holes via filesystem --fix option? elserj 11:12 PM I didn’t think there was a lot of good repair options in 2.1.4 at all (hence, stack’s suggestion to upgrade) 11:13 hbck2 and hbase being separate repos means that they both iterate faster. You can’t just pick a new hbck2 and expect all functions to work against old hbase. some folks have been doing work to make this more clear, via hbase reporting what “features’ it supports, but again older versions won’t show ya this. 11:14 there’s an HbckService inside HBase which will show you what “server side” hooks your hbase version actually has.
