I am trying to understand the HBase data insertion steps/procedures. Could
anyone kindly enlighten me about this method?

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager

private HRegionLocation locateRegionInMeta(final byte [] parentTable,
      final byte [] tableName, final byte [] row, boolean useCache)
    throws IOException
Thank you :)

That method does a lookup into the catalog .META. table to find where
a region is located.  What else you need to know?

The fun thing about HBase is that I can browse the source code to understand
the internal workings of the system and get amazed by the awesome coding
done by talented engineers/coders :) Also, there is an active/strong
community behind it !
I have been working with Mysql for many years but hardly ever browse its
source code. Thanks.

Surely you must be joking!
