We created a table with duplicate fields by mistake. Now we are unable to drop the table:
0: jdbc:phoenix:hiveapp1> drop table DEV_HET_MEF; Error: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.DoNotRetryIOException: DEV_HET_MEF: 28 at com.salesforce.phoenix.util.ServerUtil.throwIOException(ServerUtil.java:83) at com.salesforce.phoenix.coprocessor.MetaDataEndpointImpl.dropTable(MetaDataEndpointImpl.java:578) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegion.exec(HRegion.java:5490) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer.execCoprocessor(HRegionServer.java:3720) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.WritableRpcEngine$Server.call(WritableRpcEngine.java:320) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.HBaseServer$Handler.run(HBaseServer.java:1428) Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 28 at com.salesforce.phoenix.schema.PTableImpl.init(PTableImpl.java:213) at com.salesforce.phoenix.schema.PTableImpl.<init>(PTableImpl.java:181) at com.salesforce.phoenix.schema.PTableImpl.makePTable(PTableImpl.java:176) at com.salesforce.phoenix.coprocessor.MetaDataEndpointImpl.getTable(MetaDataEndpointImpl.java:381) at com.salesforce.phoenix.coprocessor.MetaDataEndpointImpl.buildTable(MetaDataEndpointImpl.java:215) at com.salesforce.phoenix.coprocessor.MetaDataEndpointImpl.doDropTable(MetaDataEndpointImpl.java:595) at com.salesforce.phoenix.coprocessor.MetaDataEndpointImpl.dropTable(MetaDataEndpointImpl.java:558) ... 12 more (state=08000,code=101) So I go to hbase shell and drop the table there... disable 'DEV_HET_MEF' drop 'DEV_HET_MEF' Finally, I scan 'SYSTEM.TABLE' and remove all rows corresponding to 'DEV_HET_MEF'. Normally this works, and the table should be gone! But this time, the table can't be recreated. What should I do? I tried restarting HBase, no effect.
