Daniel Einspanjer commented on HBASE-1621: ------------------------------------------ @J-D I noticed a potential small problem with the script while reading through it. At the beginning, it calls HBaseAdmin.balanceSwitch(false), but after the initial scan, there are two Trollop:die statements that would prevent the balancer from being turned back on. I think that you need to test the two break conditions in an if block, and then turn the balancer back on before you call die. > merge tool should work on online cluster, but disabled table > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-1621 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1621 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: ryan rawson > Assignee: stack > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.92.0 > > Attachments: 1621-trunk.txt, HBASE-1621-v2.patch, HBASE-1621.patch, > hbase-onlinemerge.patch, online_merge.rb > > > taking down the entire cluster to merge 2 regions is a pain, i dont see why > the table or regions specifically couldnt be taken offline, then merged then > brought back up. > this might need a new API to the regionservers so they can take direction > from not just the master. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
