Lars George created HBASE-15098:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Normalizer switch in configuration is not used
Key: HBASE-15098
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15098
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: master
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Lars George
Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.1
The newly added global switch to enable the new normalizer functionality is
never used apparently, meaning it is always on. The {{hbase-default.xml}} has
this:
{noformat}
<property>
<name>hbase.normalizer.enabled</name>
<value>false</value>
<description>If set to true, Master will try to keep region size
within each table approximately the same.</description>
</property>
{noformat}
But only a test class uses it to set the switch to "true". We should implement
a proper {{if}} statement that checks this value and properly disables the
feature cluster wide if not wanted.
