Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-5631: --------------------------------------- Have you tried shutting down the cluster and then restarting it? I have a suspicion that this may not work if the HTD isn't cached. Could you modify the test (add a few lines) from HBASE-6516 to verify that this patch fixes the table? {code} + HTableDescriptor[] htds = getHTableDescriptors(tmpList); // this goes to master which goes to the filesystem.... {code} ---- Nits: instead of this: {code} + Path hbaseRoot = new Path(conf.get(HConstants.HBASE_DIR)); {code} use this: {code} FSUtils.getRootDir(conf); {code} Are we purposely updating the passed in array? could we just use tmpList? {code} + List<String> tmpList = new ArrayList<String>(); + tmpList.addAll(orphanTableDirs); + HTableDescriptor[] htds = getHTableDescriptors(tmpList); + Iterator iter = orphanTableDirs.iterator(); + int j = 0; + while (iter.hasNext()) { + String tableName = (String) iter.next(); + {code} I wasn't consistent with error.print vs log. I think I prefer log. Any reason you picked this vs the other? {code} + errors.print("Try to fix orphan table: " + tableName); .. + errors.print("fixing table: " + tableName); .. + errors.report("Failed to fix orphan table: " + tableName); {code} typo/reword: hfsck -> hbck, "It is strongly recommended that you re-run hbck manually since orphan table dirs have been fixed" {code} + LOG.warn("Strongly recommend to re-run manually hfsck after all orphanTableDirs being fixed"); {code} > hbck should handle case where .tableinfo file is missing. > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5631 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5631 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: hbck > Affects Versions: 0.92.2, 0.94.0, 0.96.0 > Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh > Assignee: Jie Huang > Attachments: hbase-5631.patch > > > 0.92+ branches have a .tableinfo file which could be missing from hdfs. hbck > should be able to detect and repair this properly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
