In 0.20.4/5 there is a little script named
bin/set_meta_block_caching.rb that you'll need to run.
Here is commentary from top of the script:
stack:0.20 Stack$ more bin/set_meta_block_caching.rb
# Set in_memory=true and blockcache=true on catalog tables.
# The .META. and -ROOT- tables can be created with caching and
# in_memory set to false. You want them set to true so that
# these hot tables make it into cache. To see if the
# .META. table has BLOCKCACHE set, in the shell do the following:
#
# hbase> scan '-ROOT-'
#
# Look for the 'info' column family. See if BLOCKCACHE => 'true'?
# If not, run this script and it will set the value to true.
# Setting cache to 'true' will only take effect on region restart
# of if you close the .META. region -- *disruptive* -- and have
# it deploy elsewhere. This script runs against an up and running
# hbase instance.
#
# To see usage for this script, run:
#
# ${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase org.jruby.Main set_meta_block_caching.rb
#
