Jean-Daniel Cryans updated HBASE-1621:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-1621.patch

Here's an initial implementation for online merging, along with a unit test. I 
tested it on a small table in a small cluster, worked as advertised. There's 
currently no rollbacking so if anything happens during the merge then the 2 
regions will stay OFFLINE which means that you need to disable/enable the table 
to get them back.

Based off branch.

> merge tool should work on online cluster, but disabled table

> 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.
