Hi, When I restore hbase from a backup, sqlline gets stuck unless SYSTEM.CATALOG table is dropped. It is automatically re-created via sqlline. However, metadata of previously created phoenix tables is lost.
So, to restore the metadata, when a 'CREATE TABLE' statement is re-issued, Phoenix takes very, very long time to execute which I think, is because Phoenix is upserting null value for _0 column qualifier again for every row (billions of rows in the table). Is there a work-around for this by somehow telling Phoenix that the underlying table is already a Phoenix table? Using views is not an option here. If my understanding is wrong, any pointers as to why it takes so long for executing 'CREATE TABLE' statement is appreciated. Thanks
