Hi Ted,
The log is from an earlier attempt, I tried this a few times. This is all
local, after rm'ing the /hbase. So the files are all pretty empty, but since I
put data in I was assuming it should work. Once you gotten into this state, you
also get funny error messages in the shell:
hbase(main):001:0> list
TABLE
11/07/03 09:36:21 INFO ipc.HBaseRPC: Using
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.WritableRpcEngine for
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.HMasterInterface
ERROR: undefined method `map' for nil:NilClass
Here is some help for this command:
List all tables in hbase. Optional regular expression parameter could
be used to filter the output. Examples:
hbase> list
hbase> list 'abc.*'
hbase(main):002:0>
I am assuming this is collateral, but why? The UI works but the table is gone
too.
