Today I was hacking away, and all of a sudden HBase couldn't talk to one of my tables. By that I mean that it hung indefinitely until I killed the process. I was using the 0.20.3 Java API. I switched to another table, and my code ran fine. I then booted up my thrift server with the problematic table, and it worked fine. Shell scan works fine.
I don't think there is anything wrong with 0.20.3 because I went back to 0.20.2 and I had the same problem. I'm just completely baffled why this could happen, but if I find a solution I will post a reply. I'm not sure if something got corrupted while I was working on it, but still don't know why it would show up with Thrift and Shell.
