> sulabhc	St^Ack: that fixed most of the issue, just one last question, I removed some META entries how do I put it back ?
> sulabhc	St^Ack: putting from Hbase-shell does not seem to be possible
> St^Ack	sulabhc: it is but the content in .META. is serialized Writable of HRegionInfo.
> St^Ack	Can you find the region in the fs that you want to put back?
> St^Ack	If so, cat its .regioninfo
> St^Ack	it has binary format of the HRegionInfo that needs to be in .META. and a txt version.
> St^Ack 	You'll need to create an HRegionInfo, serialize it as bytes, and then put that into .META.
> St^Ack	Look around in the catalog package, the MetaEditor class, for how to do this from java.
> St^Ack	We should really make this easier to do in shell...
> St^Ack	or look in bin to see how we do some of this via (j)ruby
