> In a recent case, we attempted to repair a cluster that suffered from 
> HBASE-4238 that had about 6-7 generations of "leftover" split data.  The hbck 
> repair options in an development version of HBASE-5128 treat HDFS as ground 
> truth but didn't check SPLIT and OFFLINE flags only found in meta.  The net 
> effect was that it essentially attempted to merge many regions back into its 
> eldest geneneration's parent's range.  
> More safe guards to prevent "mega-merges" are being added on HBASE-5128.
> This issue would automate the handling of the "mega-merge" avoiding cases 
> such as "lingering grandparents".  The strategy here would be to add more 
> checks against .META., and perform part of the catalog janitor's 
> responsibilities for lingering grandparents.  This would potentially include 
> options to sideline regions, deleting grandparent regions, min size for 
> sidelining, and mechanisms for cleaning .META..  
> Note: There already exists an mechanism to reload these regions -- the bulk 
> loaded mechanisms in LoadIncrementalHFiles can be used to re-add grandparents 
> (automatically splitting them if necessary) to HBase.
