Yeah, this is not going to work... moving storefiles manually between regions is generally not a good idea. Do you want to move entire table into new table? Then the best thing is probably to upgrade to 0.94.6 (rolling restart is supported from 0.94.3) and use HBase snapshots. You can use export table w/o upgrading. If you want to merge into existing table I'm not really sure what is the best way to do that. You might have to rewrite data with target region boundaries, or manually split and merge regions accordingly and run compactions. Then you can disable the table, copy the files and bulk load them into target cluster. See http://hbase.apache.org/book/arch.bulk.load.html Note that bulk load requires boundaries that fit within one region (matching or sub-range). There may be a tool that solves this but I'm not aware of it...
