Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-15611:
-------------------------------------

h3. how can I determine which RegionServer is currently responsible for a given 
row?

You can request the current host of a given row using a RegionLocator:

{code}
hbase(main):313:0> example_table = get_table 'MyTable'
hbase(main):314:0> find_row = "an_example_row_key".to_java_bytes
hbase(main):315:0> @hbase.instance_eval do
hbase(main):316:1*   puts 
@connection.get_region_locator(example_table.table.get_name).get_region_location(find_row,
 true).get_server_name.to_short_string
hbase(main):317:1> end
region-server-3.example.com:60020
{code}

This will give you a hostname and a listening port, which should be enough 
information to find the correct RegionServer instance and its logs.

> add examples to shell docs
