Pritam Damania commented on HBASE-4921:
---------------------------------------
@stack : Do you know what the purpose of that line is ? Is it some kind of
sanity check ? If it is what is it trying to verify, whether we can get to some
region of the table ? Or can we just do away with that line ?
> HTable initialization looks for EMPTY_START_ROW

> Key: HBASE-4921
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4921
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.90.4
> Reporter: Pritam Damania
>
> The HTable initialization does something like this :
> {code}this.connection.locateRegion(tableName,
> HConstants.EMPTY_START_ROW);{code}
> What is the rationale behind this ? What would happen if this region is in
> flight ? I ran into a problem where I disabled the first region of the table
> and now I can't create an HTable instance to this table.
> Disabling the first region is like disabling the entire table from a client
> perspective. I feel this is not the correct behavior.
