Appendix B. Metadata Table

The metadata table contains a row for every tablet in Accumulo. Tablets are uniquely described by the ID of their table and the last row in the range assigned to the tablet, or end row. Table B-1 describes the columns that can appear in a tablet’s row in the metadata table, and Table B-2 shows some sample entries from a real metadata table.

In addition to tablet entries, there is a section of the metadata table that records file deletion entries. There is also a section for files that are in the process of being bulk-imported into Accumulo, to assist the garbage collector in not deleting these files prematurely. More about file deletion can be found in “Garbage Collector”.
