Description

Daniel Leffel suspected that delete and then recreate causes issues. I tried it on our little cluster. I'm doing a MR load up into the newly created table and after a few million rows, the MR job just hangs. Its looking for a region that doesn't exist:

....

My guess is that its a region that was in the tables' previous incarnation with ghosts left over down inside .META.
