Typically, hbck won't detect anything wrong here, as Ram said in another thread we really should work in this functionality.
1.) Shut the HBase cluster - go to ZKcli and rmr /hbase - Start HBase back up 2.) Move the table, use hbck -fixMeta -fixAssignments, restart the HBase (not a great option if there is data on the table) 3.) Force an assign on the region for the table and see if it clears it up (Should create a new znode) 4.) Go to ZK Cli and check /hbase for unassigned regions and other data correlating with that region and remove it, then restart HBase On Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 8:34 AM, Vikas Jadhav <vikascjadha...@gmail.com>wrote: > try to diable table first > > disable 'table_name' > > drop 'tab-name' > > > > On Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 3:48 PM, hua beatls <bea...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > HI, > > i have a table in 'transition' state, which couldn't be 'disable' or > > enable.
