------------------------------------
Summary: Do not disable normalizer on salted tables
Key: PHOENIX-6952
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-6952
Project: Phoenix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: 5.1.3, 5.2.0
Reporter: Istvan Toth
We have taken great lengths to disable the normalizer on salte tables to avoid
PHOENIX-4096.
While disabling the normalizer helps with that, it also disables automatic
splitting, which can lead to regions growing uncontrollably, and causing all
kind of failures and data loss.
A better solution would be disabling merges on such tables instead. The
normalizer does check that flag. It would also restrict manual merging, but
that can be worked around by toggling the flag manually, and is a lesser
problem than regions growin uncontrollably.
Alternatively, if we can fix PHOENIX-6910, then we can remove the normalizer
restrictions.
