> Inspection of the files above showed that they were all empty, but referenced in the {{!METADATA}} table. The solution was to move or remove the files from HDFS and delete the references from the metadata. The instance was then able to stabilize and assign the rest of the tablets.
> It is unclear why these empty walogs existed in the first place. Is it possible that there should have been data in these walogs? Or should the files have been disregarded since they were empty?
> Regarding the Rfile that was missing the block, it was not being referenced by the {{!METADATA}} table, so removing it had no negative effect on the instance. Should there have been some reference to this file?
