HBase Version: 1.2.0   I had a truncate table with splits hang and had to kill the session. Afterwards the HBase master reported the below:   2020-10-21 11:51:39,428 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster: Client=research//10.19.25.18 truncate table 020-10-21 11:51:39,876 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.MetaTableAccessor: Deleted [{ENCODED => 190c395e0419552552ec2472c212109b, NAME => ' ' 020-10-21 12:55:49,600 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient: DataStreamer Exception org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException(org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.LeaseExpiredException): No lease on /hbase/.tmp/data/default/table_name/b533d42b2b0da96cd7f960619b8ce6f1/.regioninfo (inode 1164868456): File does not exist.

What is the best way to recover from such scenario? Any inputs will be helpful.   Thank you. ... View more
