Meta table is not Online

[#1]

Hi every one,

I did some load testing on my hbase cluster based on cdh 4.6 .Data got inserted correctly on hbase tables and also indexed on solr as I  am using lily.How ever  when I try to ingest data now I am getting the  below exception and also not able to scan any tables.

Looks like clinet is not able to find meta table from zoo keeper location.Can some one help?

Hi ,

Can some one help?

>From the master web UI, do you see if the meta region in transition?

[#4]

Yes.Meta region is in transition from the master web UI

How long has it stuck there? You can check where it is trying to open, find
out anything wrong from the log. You may try to manually fail over your
master to see if it can fix the issue. Otherwise, you may need to use hbck.

Thank you.It has been in this state for more than a day now.I tried to fail over the master but still the problem persist.

[#7]

That's bad. Do you see anything wrong in the region server log? How many
regions in total do you have?

[#8]

I have 5 region servers in this  trial environment that was set up.There is only one on line region  when I check the master web UI.I ran some heavy load against this yesterday while perfroming a rolling re start  of the cluster.It was all well vbefore that .I am not able to bring it back to work since then.

The region server logs does not have any information.

[#9]

Have you tried to restart the whole cluster, use hbck to fix
meta/assignment? Is the log level DEBUG? If so, you should get quite some
information. Without knowing why it is stuck, it would be hard to fix.

[#10]

Thank you.I tried runing hbase hbck as root user but it says I do not have enough permission.I am  trying run this as user hbase but  It asks  for the habse password.Can you help?
