over time with table deleting, etc... accumulo.metadata "accumulates" zero entry splits... currently we have about 25% splits in our accumulo.metadata with zero entries... when trying to merge using --size 1k --force we get an error saying we cannot merge the metadata table.
how do you get rid of these worthless splits? the only way i know how to do it is to: 1) backup all our tables 2) rebuild accumulo 3) import all our backuped tables however, that seems to be a lot of work! any help would be greatly appreciated
