There is an easy way to check Meta Region Server info from HMaster webUI > System Tables > hbase:meta. However, anyone can check the same from the command line, or the HMaster UI might not be accessible due to security restrictions. This article explains how to find the Meta Region Server info from the command line.
Option 01:
The status 'detailed' shell command can be useful since it has all the hosted region’s info per RS separately along with other useful info.
#hbase shell
hbase(main):033:0> status 'detailed'

Option 02:
#hbase zkcli
[zk:2181(CONNECTED) 1] get /hbase/meta-region-server
?master:22001O?????YPBUF2
%cdh-63x-ie-1.cdh-63x-ie.root.hwx.site???????1
Note: There are some dirty characters [that’s because it is a protobuf message] along with the RS hostname.
OR:
#zkCli.sh -server myzoo get /hbase/meta-region-server
Best Way:
locate_region : Locate the region given a table name and a row-key
SYNTAX:- hbase> locate_region ‘tableName’, ‘key0’
And since meta don’t have any rowkey, passing empty value works also.
hbase(main):003:0* locate_region 'hbase:meta', ''
HOST REGION
cdh-63x-ie-1.cdh-63x-ie.root.hwx.site:22101 {ENCODED => 1588230740, NAME => 'hbase:meta,,1', STARTKEY => '', ENDKEY => ''}
