> Many a times I've had to, and have seen instructions being thrown, to stop cluster, clear out ZK and restart.
> While this is only a quick (and painful to master) fix, it is certainly nifty to some smaller cluster users but the process is far too long, roughly:
> 1. Stop HBase
> 2. Start zkCli.sh and connect to the right quorum
> 3. Find and ensure the HBase parent znode from the configs (/hbase only by default)
> 4. Run an "rmr /hbase" in the zkCli.sh shell, or manually delete each znode if on a lower version of ZK.
> 5. Quit zkCli.sh and start HBase again
> Perhaps it may be useful, if the start-hbase.sh itself accepted a formatZK parameter. Such that, when you do a {{start-hbase.sh -formatZK}}, it does steps 2-4 automatically for you.
> For safety, we could make the formatter code ensure that no HBase instance is actually active, and skip the format process if it is. Similar to a HDFS NameNode's format, which would disallow if the name directories are locked.
> Would this be a useful addition for administrators? Bigtop too can provide a service subcommand that could do this.
