[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-19774) incorrect behavior of locateRegionInMeta

["Sergey Soldatov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19774?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16322957#comment-16322957 ] 

Sergey Soldatov commented on HBASE-19774:
-----------------------------------------

Well, that problem persists for quite period of time. But for 1.x releases this message was not that scary (that was something like "Table X not found, got Y"). The problem is that in locateRegionInMeta we are using ReverseScan without setting stopRow. So if the given table doesn't exist we may return a record any other table. In branch-2 the exception message was changed and now it actually looks scary and may lead the user to think that HBase has problems with meta table.
I see two ways how to fix it :
1. Add stop row to the corresponding scan. Not sure whether we have any corner cases that may be affected.
2.  Consider that the returned record as an expected result for the missing table and just report in a regular way without that scary message. 
Personally, I would prefer the first way. Any suggestions, [~stack], [~elserj], [~tedyu@apache.org] ?

> When we try to operate with not existing table, in some circumstances we get an incorrect report about the not existing table:
> {noformat}
> ERROR: Region of 'hbase:namespace,,1510363071508.0d8ddea7654f95130959218e9bc9c89c.' is expected in the table of 'nonExistentUsertable', but hbase:meta says it is in the table of 'hbase:namespace'. hbase:meta might be damaged.
> {noformat}
