             Summary: [operator-tools] Provide a utility to detect and correct incorrect RegionInfo's in hbase:meta
                 Key: HBASE-26656
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26656
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: hbase-operator-tools, hbck2
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Josh Elser
             Fix For: hbase-operator-tools-2.0.0


HBASE-23328 describes a problem in which the serialized RegionInfo in the value of hbase:meta cells have an encoded regionname which doesn't match the encoded region name in the rowkey for that cell.

This problem is normally harmless as assignment only consults the rowkey to get the encoded region name. However, this problem does break other HBCK2 tooling, like {{{}extraRegionsInMeta{}}}. 

Rather than try to update each tool to account for when this problem may be present, create a new tool which an operator can run to correct meta and then use any subsequent tools as originally intended.
