Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-14867:
---------------------------------------
bq. we should modify SRN as discussed here, and perhaps rename it to Standard*
or something?
Agreed, we should keep only one default normalizer around.
> SimpleRegionNormalizer needs to have better heuristics to trigger merge

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: master
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Romil Choksi
>
> SimpleRegionNormalizer needs to have better heuristics to trigger merge
> operation. SimpleRegionNormalizer is not able to trigger a merge action if
> the table's smallest region has neighboring regions that are larger than
> table's average region size, whereas there are other smaller regions whose
> combined size is less than the average region size.
> For example,
> - Consider a table with six region, say r1 to r6.
> - Keep r1 as empty and create some data say, 100K rows of data for each of
> the regions r2, r3 and r4. Create smaller amount of data for regions r5 and
> r6, say about 27K rows of data.
> - Run the normalizer. Verify the number the regions for that table and also
> check the master log to see if any merge action was triggered as a result of
> normalization.
> In such scenario, it would be better to have a merge action triggered for
> those two smaller regions r5 and r6 even though either of them is not the
> smallest one
