Description

In this case, you can use the -fixSplitParents ....
This option should not normally be used, and it is not in -fixAll.

There is no such option "-fixAll". From the context, it seems to refer to -repair

In addition, -repair option also covers -fixReferenceFiles, -fixHFileLinks, which are not introduced in the doc.

HBaseFsck#exec

        else if (cmd.equals("-repair")) {
        // this attempts to merge overlapping hdfs regions, needs testing
        // under load
        setFixHdfsHoles(true);
        setFixHdfsOrphans(true);
        setFixMeta(true);
        setFixAssignments(true);
        setFixHdfsOverlaps(true);
        setFixVersionFile(true);
        setSidelineBigOverlaps(true);
        setFixSplitParents(false);
        setCheckHdfs(true);
        setFixReferenceFiles(true);
        setFixHFileLinks(true);

-repair includes all the region consistency options and only the hole repairing table integrity options.

... seems untrue to me.

 

Finally,

 

In this case there is a special -fixMetaOnly option that can try to fix meta assignments.

-fixMetaOnly option no longer exists.
