Jean-Marc Spaggiari commented on HBASE-7930: -------------------------------------------- hi Dave, This is the code generating this warning: {code} byte [] bytes = result.getValue(HConstants.CATALOG_FAMILY, HConstants.REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER); if (bytes == null) { LOG.warn("REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER is empty in " + result); return null; } {code} And it's the only place where this is printed into the logs. I "grepped" the code and was not able to find anywhere else where this is printed. So this warning is displayed only when we are not able to find the REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER in CATALOG_FAMILY the row. >From what is remaining in the table: entry,keyvalue,1360762149493.288611f36e195c950754ba88e9402950. column=info:server, timestamp=1361046940033, value=node1:60020 entry,keyvalue,1360762149493.288611f36e195c950754ba88e9402950. column=info:serverstartcode, timestamp=1361046940033, value=1361046923347 We don't know where to look into HDFS. If we remove those 2 lines and HBCK found a region in the HDFS which is not into the .META., it will reconstruct the entries in the .META. based in the HDFS content. So I think we can safely remove those lines from the .META. and I don't think there is anything else which can generate this WARNing. > hbck should provide an option to fix empty REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER .META. rows. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7930 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7930 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jean-Marc Spaggiari > Assignee: Jean-Marc Spaggiari > > Today when master and HBCK are reporting empty REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER .META. > rows, we need to manually delete them from the .META. region.
