I recently added a table test
while getting started on HBase.
I decided to reinstall HBase due to some issues.
After reinstalling and running the HBase shell I tried:
hbase(main):004:0> list
TABLE
0 row(s) in 0.0070 seconds
=> []
So there are no tables. Now I tried to add the table test
hbase(main):005:0> create 'test', 'testfamily'
ERROR: Table already exists: test!
I took a look into the log files and found the following entry
2018-06-21 07:53:30,646 WARN [ProcedureExecutor-2] procedure.CreateTableProcedure: The table test does not exist in meta but has a znode. run hbck to fix inconsistencies.
I ran it and got the following
$ hbase hbck test
Table hbase:meta is okay.
Number of regions: 1
Deployed on: my_IP,16201,1529567081041
0 inconsistencies detected.
Status: OK
I'm wondering if there's a way to remove the znode
by hand?
