Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-15073:
----------------------------------------
The 1.x releases are supposed to be rock solid, and only ideally only add
features that have gone through some bake time and hardening. This concern was
brought up with a long list of other features on previous versions as well --
for example, mob, distributed log reply, snapshots, and replication.
I'm much for receptive to an argument for on by default in 2.x/master -- there
new defaults and bigger changes are to be expected.

> Currently both region split and merge actions are carried out during
> normalization for underlying table.
> However, for certain use case(s) (see
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13103?focusedCommentId=14366255&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14366255),
> it would be desirable to perform only one type of action.
> There is one boolean flag, keyed by NORMALIZATION_ENABLED_KEY, per table that
> enables normalization.
> To provide finer grained control, we have several options:
> 1. introduce another per table flag to indicate which type(s) of actions are
> allowed ("N" for disabled, "S" for split only, "M" for merge only and "MS"
> for both split and merge)
> 2. introduce another global flag to indicate which type(s) of actions are
> allowed
> 3. modify the meaning of existing flag keyed by NORMALIZATION_ENABLED_KEY so
> that it indicates type(s) of actions
