stack commented on HBASE-2818: ------------------------------ I tried it and it is still broke though it seems different. RegionServer has in its logs: {code} 2012-02-29 20:56:38,108 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: The specified region nameTestTable,0001051312,1330380324698.816dfce56bcf69d94dd08db5ba0950e0. does not exist to close the region. {code} ... though earlier I see the log opened and its showing in the UI as opened. Then in shell it says: {code} hbase(main):011:0> close_region "TestTable,0001051312,1330380324698.816dfce56bcf69d94dd08db5ba0950e0.", "sv4r12s38,7003,1330548364808" 12/02/29 20:56:38 ERROR client.HBaseAdmin: Not able to close the region TestTable,0001051312,1330380324698.816dfce56bcf69d94dd08db5ba0950e0.. 0 row(s) in 0.0370 seconds {code} Its not equating region name. > Cannot force a region to close when it has no RS entry in META > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2818 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2818 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: master > Affects Versions: 0.90.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > > I have a region that's open on a server, but META thinks it's not deployed > anywhere.
