Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-6294: ------------------------------------------- At least on the tip of 0.94 in standalone mode I can wipe out HBase's root dir and restart without problems, ZK uses a new data folder when it's restarted. Not sure when this was introduced. I'm fine closing this unless [~lhofhansl], [~devaraj] or [~larsgeorge] have something against it. > Detect leftover data in ZK after a user delete all its HBase data > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6294 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6294 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.94.0 > Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans > Fix For: 0.95.1 > > > It seems we have a new failure mode when a user deletes the hbase root.dir > but doesn't delete the ZK data.
