Hi Russel, When recreating the table, does it complain of a TABLE_ALREADY_EXIST exception?
If possible, can you please confirm if you see the table 'DEV_HET_MEF' from the zookeeper client ( zkcli.sh) a ) hbase zkcli -server <host>:<port> b) ls /hbase/table/ If so, you can remove it by running rmr /hbase/table/DEV_HET_MEF Also ,can you please let me know which version of Phoenix are you using to help see if I can reproduce the problem.
