TableNotFoundException: hbase:labels

Question

I'm trying to upload tsv file to HBase using this command

hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.ImportTsv -Dimporttsv.columns=HBASE_ROW_KEY,info:email,info:country,info:continent test_table /user/test/1row.tsv

My table defined as

create 'test_table',{NAME=>'info',REPLICATION_SCOPE=>'1'}

In MapReduce log appears error

I am using Cloudera Express 5.4.7 distribution and HBase 1.0.0-cdh5.4.8 version.

Actually I am looking for workaround because I am not interested in Visibility feature of HBase usage at all.

Also I can't install any HBase patch in my working cluster.

thanks in advance!

did you get the workaround? I am also getting the same error. Can you please share how you proceeded? — Mahesha999, Jun 21 '16 at 12:49
it was more that one year ago and I really do not remember my workaround, sorry. If I will meet this problem today I will create Hive table on top of csv file, then create another Hive table with org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler and then run insert as select Hive command. — David Greenshtein, Jul 07 '16 at 14:30
it seems that this is still an [unresolved bug](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14365) !!! — Mahesha999, Jul 09 '16 at 15:20

I ran into this when using HBase locally for development. A quick workaround (to get importTSV to not fail) is to simply create the table in question as such:

create 'hbase:labels', 'f'
