[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-6294) Detect leftover data in ZK after a user delete all its HBase data

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6294?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13405430#comment-13405430 ] 

Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-6294:
--------------------------------------

In a similar vain I found it impossible to switch a cluster from HBase <= 0.94 to HBase 0.96 (protobufs) without wiping the ZK state.
We typically say that the ZK is not important for operating HBase, but that is not strictly true. For example we need to the ZK state for replication.

> It seems we have a new failure mode when a user deletes the hbase root.dir but doesn't delete the ZK data. For example a user on IRC came with this log:

> So the HBase wants to assign a region from a table that doesn't exist and we fail in an obscure way. I told the user to shut down HBase, nuke /tmp/hbase-user as it will contain both the HBase data and the ZK data, and restart. It worked.
> This situation is new in 0.94, we need to detect it so our users have a better experience getting started with HBase.
