Phoenix Error while trying to create table

Question

When I either log in to sqlline.py in phoenix or I try to create table in phoenix through api's I get an exception.

With my limited knowledge of phenix I am unable to figure out why phoenix is checking for System.Catalog table even before it creates it.Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Check your hdfs://.../hbase/data/default/ is exist SYSTEM.CATALOG ?

if there is nothing, you must try to use bin/hbase clean --cleanZk before you use the command, you must stop hbase Master and regionServers,but still keep ZK alive.
