We are facing the exact same symptoms in HBase 1.4.0 running on AWS EMR based cluster, and desperately need to take a snapshot to feed a downstream job. So far we have tried using the "assign" command on all regions involved to move them around but the snapshot still fails. Also saw the same error earlier in a compaction thread on the same missing file.
Is there anyway we can recover this db? We ran hbck -details and it reported no errors. Thanks. ---- Saad
