I see a folder named hregion-47776456 inside /hbase/WALs folder. After a bit of digging, I see its being created by createRegion function in HRegion. What is the use of this folder?
There is no mention of this folder in http://www.larsgeorge.com/2009/10/hbase-architecture-101-storage.html. (Admittedly its pretty old) Hbase Version : Opensource 1.0 Regards, Sriram
