Unable to .META corrupt issue

[kiran <ki...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am unable to do any operations in hbase shell like put, get, disable or
drop a table. Each time I am getting this exception

ERROR: java.io.IOException: HRegionInfo was null or empty in -ROOT-,
row=keyvalues={.META

I did try offlinemetarepair and other things..but none of them yielded
results. I think .META or ROOT is corrupt.

How can I resolve these issue ?

I'm unsure as to what caused this for you without having logs to look at,
but a general thing you could do to fix this would perhaps be to shutdown
HBase, invoke the ZK CLI console via "hbase zkcli" and wipe the /hbase
znode parent dir completely clean. Depending on your version of ZooKeeper
deployed, you may either need to do a simple "rmr /hbase" in the ZK CLI
console or do an individual "delete <znode>" of all available znodes under
/hbase.
