stack commented on HBASE-1621:
------------------------------
Or rather, we shouldn't have to take the table offline at all... just close
regions to be merged, merge them while all else is online, then update meta.
> merge tool should work on online cluster, but disabled table
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: ryan rawson
> Fix For: 0.21.0

>
> taking down the entire cluster to merge 2 regions is a pain, i dont see why
> the table or regions specifically couldnt be taken offline, then merged then
> brought back up.
> this might need a new API to the regionservers so they can take direction
> from not just the master.
