------------------------------------
Summary: [ergonomics] add shell,API to "reshape" a table
Key: HBASE-13103
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13103
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Brainstorming
Components: Usability
Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
Often enough, folks miss-judge split points or otherwise end up with a
suboptimal number of regions. We should have an automated, reliable way to
"reshape" or "balance" a table's region boundaries. This would be for tables
that contain existing data. This might look like:
{noformat}
Admin#reshapeTable(TableName, int numSplits);
{noformat}
or from the shell:
{noformat}
> reshape TABLE, numSplits
{noformat}
