Jean-Marc Spaggiari commented on HBASE-7846: -------------------------------------------- Here is how I did it. Regions is constructed from MetaUtils.scanMetaRegion {code:title=MassMerger.java|borderStyle=solid} HRegionInfo region1 = null; HRegionInfo region2 = null; for (HRegionInfo regionInfo : regions) { if (region1 == null) { region1 = regionInfo; } } else { region2 = regionInfo; } if ((region1 != null) && (region2 != null)) { regionsCount++; String[] args = new String[3]; args[0] = tableName; args[1] = region1.getRegionNameAsString(); args[2] = region2.getRegionNameAsString(); System.out.println ("Merging " + region1.getRegionNameAsString() + " with " + region2.getRegionNameAsString()); region1 = null; region2 = null; int status; try { status = ToolRunner.run(HBaseConfiguration.create(config), new Merge(), args); if ((System.in.available() > 0) || (status != 0)) { return; } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } {Code} Pretty simple way. I will clean the code, and see how I can merge it into the Merge class... > Add support for merging implicit regions in Merge tool > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-7846 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7846 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: util > Reporter: Kaufman Ng > Priority: Minor > > Currently org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Merge needs 2 region names to be > explicitly specified to perform a merge. This can be cumbersome. > One idea for improvement is to have Merge to figure out all the adjacent > regions and perform the merges. > For example: > regions before merge: row-10, row-20, row-30, row-40, row-50 > regions after merge: row-10, row-30, row-50 > In the above example, region names of "row-10" and "row-20" are merged to > become a new bigger region of "row-10". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
