> Usability and aesthetic problems with the table view UI
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-17621
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17621
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Priority: Blocker
>
> HBASE-15675 changed the display and formatting of the table view in the
> master UI. After this change by default regions are sorted lexiographically
> by encoded region name, which has no correspondence with ordering in the
> keyspace. Previously entries adjacent in the region list would be adjacent in
> keyspace too. This made it easy to locate boundaries for split and merge
> requests. This is a big step backwards for usability. For anyone who wants to
> manage splits and merges (after HBASE-17609), unless they have memorized what
> encoded names correspond to the adjacent regions of interest, they first have
> to check the box named "ShowDetailName&Start/End Key" and resort the lists.
> Related, naming that element "ShowDetailName&Start/End Key" is very poor
> aesthetics.
> Related, the checkboxes are right of the description text, which is an
> unconventional design. In most UI designs, checkboxes appear left of the
> description text.
>
> Related, following that element is an inexplicable string "+ + + + +"
