stack commented on HBASE-1621: ------------------------------ So I think the fact that we have this script to do online merge takes the heat off this issue. I do not think it a blocker on 0.92 anymore. > 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.
