HBase Failed to Start Due to Corrupted Version Files

Symptom

HBase fails to start.

Cause Analysis

  1. The hbase.version file is read during HBase startup. However, the log indicates that a reading exception occurs.

  2. The file cannot be viewed by running the hadoop fs -cat /hbase/hbase.version command. The file is corrupted.

Solution

  1. Run the hbase hbck -fixVersionFile command to restore the file.
  2. If the problem persists after performing 1, obtain the hbase.version file from another cluster of the same version and upload the file to replace the original one.
  3. Restart the HBase service.
