    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1634?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12729339#action_12729339 ] 

stack commented on HBASE-1634:
------------------------------

Here is sample NPE:

{code}
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Writables.getWritable(Writables.java:74)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Writables.getHRegionInfo(Writables.java:118)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$TableServers$1.processRow(HConnectionManager.java:355)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.MetaScanner.metaScan(MetaScanner.java:63)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.MetaScanner.metaScan(MetaScanner.java:28)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$TableServers.listTables(HConnectionManager.java:369)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HBaseAdmin.listTables(HBaseAdmin.java:127)
..
{code}

This is not same as the old NPE we used to get in BaseScanner back in the day.

> I have a .META. from bryan duxbury that has a row with only historian data.  List does whole row, not just info, so if only historian entries, a row is returned.  We then try and get a regioninfo from this row and NPE.
> As to why this happens, jd suggests that since we moved to async historian updates, row may have been deleted already.  Confirm.
