HBase: NotServingRegionException: regionis not online

Explorer
Hi all,

I installed CDH5 on three servers with a cluster which has one namenode and two datanodes, including all services installed.

 I tried to create through command like this:
 create 'test', 'cf'

 It shows the error after a long time:

ERROR: 60000 millis timeout while waiting for channel to be ready for read. ch : java.nio.channels.SocketChannel[connected local=/153.1.62.179:41461 remote=trafficdata0.sis.uta.fi/153.1.62.179:60000]

Here is some help for this command:
Creates a table. Pass a table name, and a set of column family
specifications (at least one), and, optionally, table configuration.
Column specification can be a simple string (name), or a dictionary
(dictionaries are described below in main help output), necessarily
including NAME attribute.
Examples:

Create a table with namespace=ns1 and table qualifier=t1
  hbase> create 'ns1:t1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}

Create a table with namespace=default and table qualifier=t1
  hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1'}, {NAME => 'f2'}, {NAME => 'f3'}
  hbase> # The above in shorthand would be the following:
  hbase> create 't1', 'f1', 'f2', 'f3'
  hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 1, TTL => 2592000, BLOCKCACHE => true}
  hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', CONFIGURATION => {'hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles' => '10'}}
 
Table configuration options can be put at the end.
Examples:

  hbase> create 'ns1:t1', 'f1', SPLITS => ['10', '20', '30', '40']
  hbase> create 't1', 'f1', SPLITS => ['10', '20', '30', '40']
  hbase> create 't1', 'f1', SPLITS_FILE => 'splits.txt', OWNER => 'johndoe'
  hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}, METADATA => { 'mykey' => 'myvalue' }
  hbase> # Optionally pre-split the table into NUMREGIONS, using
  hbase> # SPLITALGO ("HexStringSplit", "UniformSplit" or classname)
  hbase> create 't1', 'f1', {NUMREGIONS => 15, SPLITALGO => 'HexStringSplit'}
  hbase> create 't1', 'f1', {NUMREGIONS => 15, SPLITALGO => 'HexStringSplit', CONFIGURATION => {'hbase.hregion.scan.loadColumnFamiliesOnDemand' => 'true'}}

 And the main problem inside the HMaster log file is:

Hello Yibin,

 

This reply is 16 days later so hopefully you've already solved this.  

If not, from your logs it looks like the .Meta region is not online on any of your regionservers.  Meta is crucial to Hbase and without it being online almost no operations will succeed. 

 

Are your regionservers reporting in to the hmaster? the hmaster should be agressively trying to assign the meta region.
It could also be that hbase can't assign META because HDFS is not actually up. 

 

I'd advise checking over your hbase configuration and following the advice here[1]:

Hope this helps!
