title: Hbase .META table
body: <p>I have a doubt regarding the location of Hbase -ROOT- table and .META table .I have read that the Hbase -ROOT- table resides in the znode of the zookeeper , So when the client query the -ROOT- the information of the server hosting the .META is found . My doubt is does the .META reside in one single server. If so if that server crashes the information of  .META table is lost. Or am I wrong ? Could any one help.</p>
