I fixed this of course right after sending to the mailing list. I had to delete
the node from zookeeper and restart HBase.

Subject: Table that won't delete
Hello all,
I accidentally created a table using LZO compression, and I don't have
everything set up for LZO. So I tried to alter the table, but the shell gave me
an error that the table was disabled. Tried to enable, and it said the table
was enabled. Couldn't drop the table because it thinks the table is enabled. So
I just shut down hbase and deleted /hbase from HDFS.
Amazingly, HBase still believes my missing table exists:
hbase(main):002:0> create 'FOO',{NAME=>'D',VERSIONS=>1}
ERROR: Table already exists: FOO!
Although it doesn't show up in list and I can't describe it or anything.
Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? What do I have to remove for
HBase to forget about my table?
Thanks,
-Ben
