Could we consider make creating table as a transaction, e.g. create files in
tmp directory, atomic put regions to .META.?
{quote}
We have already that, the problem is that META and the filesystem are two
separate operations... so you may fail in the middle and have META but not the
fs dir moved...
The idea of the file-tracking table (mentioned in others jira, e.g. HBASE-7806)
was exactly to solve the problem and having a single source of truth... and
have the table creation/deletion as transaction
> Master restart on create table with splitkeys does not recreate table with
> all the splitkey regions

> -> Create table using splitkeys
> -> MAster goes down before all regions are added to meta
> -> On master restart the table is again enabled but with less number of
> regions than specified in splitkeys
> Anyway client will get an exception if i had called sync create table. But
> table exists or not check will say table exists.
> Is this scenario to be handled by client only or can we have some mechanism
> on the master side for this? Pls suggest.
