Hi,
I created a table and inserted 1.1 TB data, then I tried to drop the table
and data. I understand that current hbase has a bug,
so I renamed the table to a temp name. and then dropped the temp table.
However, I found that some of the regions are not renamed to the temp
table and they are still with the original table name.
I tried to physically remove the HFS dir, and restart master and
regionserver, delete it from HDFS again , and restart master/regionserver
again. the regions just continue to hang there. and I can't create a table
with the original name.
Is there any way I can remove the dangling region and then I can create a
brand new table with original name ?
Jimmy.
