Yes, we run 0.94. Regarding your suggestion of copying data: what method/tools would you suggest for this?

Off line merge will need some downtimes and depending on the version you use might have some issues. Can still find work arround, but again, you need to know. Another option is to copy your data into another table where regions are bigger... What HBase version do you run? 0.94.?
