I set up a hbase cluster to store data from opentsdb. Recently due to reboot of some of the nodes, hbase lost the table “tsdb”. I can still it on hbase’s master node page, but when I click on it, it gives me a tableNotFoundException

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableNotFoundException: tsdb
    at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.locateRegionInMeta(HConnectionManager.java:952)
    at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.locateRegion(HConnectionManager.java:818)

    at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable.<init>(HTable.java:213)
    at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable.<init>(HTable.java:171)
......

I entered hbase shell, trying to locate ‘tsdb’ table, but got the similar message

hbase(main):018:0> scan 'tsdb'
ROW                                                          COLUMN+CELL

ERROR: Unknown table tsdb!

However when I tried to re-create this table, hbase shell told me the table already exist…

hbase(main):013:0> create 'tsdb', {NAME => 't', VERSIONS => 1, BLOOMFILTER=>'ROW'}

ERROR: Table already exists: tsdb!

And I can also list the table in hbase shell

hbase(main):001:0> list
TABLE
tsdb
tsdb-uid
2 row(s) in 0.6730 seconds

Taking a look at the log, I found this which should be the cause of my issue

2012-05-14 12:06:22,140 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation: Encountered problems when prefetch META table:

It says cannot find row of tsbb in .META., but there are indeed tsdb rows in .META.

I have run

bin/hbase hbck -fix

which unfortunately does not solve my problem

Could someone help me out on this that

  1. Is it possible to recover this table “tsdb”?
  2. If 1 cannot be done, is it a suggested way to gracefully remove ‘tsdb’, and create a new one?
  3. I’d be greatly appreciated if anybody can let me know what is the most suggested way to reboot a node? Currently, I am leaving my master node always up. For other nodes, I run this command immediately after its reboot.

command:

# start data node
bin/hadoop-daemon.sh start datanode
bin/hadoop-daemon.sh start jobtracker    
# start hbase
bin/hbase-daemon.sh start zookeeper
bin/hbase-daemon.sh start regionserver 

Many Thanks!

    I am not very sure why you are unable to scan it. However, to recreate the table, you can try this:

    1) Delete all entries in the .META table for this table manually, and

    2) Delete the directory corresponding to this table from HDFS

    Try creating the table again after that.
