hbase hregion was null or empty in -ROOT- problem while creating table

[Pranay <pk...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I am having problem with hbase. i have configured hadoop and it is working fine.
But after configuring hbase, the UI of HMaster is not launching and also not
creating table in shell. Following are the details:
I am using hadoop 0.20.2 and HBase 0.90.4 on 2 nodes
1. umaster : namenode, sec namenode, jobtracker, HMaster
/etc/hosts file :
172.25.20.74 umaster
172.25.20.93 slavee

2. slavee : datanode, tasktracker, HRegionserver
/etc/hosts file :
172.25.20.74 umaster
172.25.20.93 slavee


UI for HMaster i.e umaster:60010 gives error like problem accessing master.jsp
caused by exception: HRegionInfo was null or empty

And while creating table it gives error like retriesexhaustedexception and gives
exception as java.io.IOException: HRegionInfo was null or empty in -ROOT-

Please give me the solution for this.

What does it say in the hbase logs?

Its not recommended you run on hadoop 0.20.2.  See the reference guide
up on website for hadoop recommendation.

Two nodes isn't much good.  You might as well do standalone (see
reference guide)
