Hi, Hbase version: cdh3-u0/0.90.1
I m trying to use the copytable The arguments are: copytable --peer.adr=<dest:2181:/hbase> --new.name=<table>_backup <src_table> hbase-site.xml of the src hbase should be in the classpath My command: copytable --peer.adr=dest_host:2181:/hbase --new.name=TestBackup Test I m sure that hbase-site.xml (for src table) is in the classpath, but still, get src table not found org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableNotFoundException: Cannot find row in .META. for table: Test, row=Test,,99999999999999 at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.MetaScanner.metaScan(MetaScanner.java:136) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.MetaScanner.metaScan(MetaScanner.java:95) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.prefetchRegionCache(HConnectionManager.java:648) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.locateRegionInMeta(HConnectionManager.java:702) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.locateRegion(HConnectionManager.java:593) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.locateRegion(HConnectionManager.java:558) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable.<init>(HTable.java:171) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable.<init>(HTable.java:145) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.TableInputFormat.setConf(TableInputFormat.java:91) at org.apache.hadoop.util.ReflectionUtils.setConf(ReflectionUtils.java:62) at org.apache.hadoop.util.ReflectionUtils.newInstance(ReflectionUtils.java:117) When I took in the remote debugger, I realised that TableOutputFormat overwrites the zookeeper info (src becomes dest). I am sure this is well-used feature , so it must be something I missed. Pl help me to get this working Thanks -Sagar -Sagar
