For a user table, you should see the following in the table dir: drwxr-xr-x - hbase hdfs 0 2018-02-16 22:20 /apps/hbase/data/data/default/t1/.tabledesc drwxr-xr-x - hbase hdfs 0 2018-02-16 22:20 /apps/hbase/data/data/default/t1/.tmp
Is the table descriptor under mytable ? At the time of 'Unknown table mytable!' error, what do you see in master log ? Which hbase release are you using ?
