<title>Viewing the Current Number of Regions</title>
<para>You can view the current number of regions for a given table using the HMaster UI. In
the <guilabel>Tables</guilabel> section, the number of online regions for each table is
listed in the <guilabel>Online Regions</guilabel> column. This total only includes the
in-memory state and does not include disabled or offline regions. If you do not want to
use the HMaster UI, you can determine the number of regions by counting the number of
subdirectories of the /hbase/&lt;table&gt;/ subdirectories in HDFS, or by running the
<command>bin/hbase hbck</command> command. Each of these methods may return a slightly
different number, depending on the status of each region.</para>
