Mikhail Antonov commented on HBASE-15073:
-----------------------------------------
I'd prefer to rename NORMALIZATION_ENABLED flag to something liek
NORMALIZATION_MODE or something similar. _ENABLED suffix strongly implies
boolean type, and using it for letter-encoded list of actions is confusing to
me. It's not yet release so we can do that; after release, it won't be until
2.0 we can change it, and likely even then there would be back pressure.
Style-wise I think it's better to return empty list rather than null from
HTD#getDesiredNormalizationTypes().
Looks good otherwise.

> Currently both region split and merge actions are carried out during
> normalization for underlying table.
> However, for certain use case(s), it would be desirable to perform only one
> type of action.
> There is one boolean flag, keyed by NORMALIZATION_ENABLED_KEY, per table that
> enables normalization.
> To provide finer grained control, we have several options:
> 1. introduce another per table flag to indicate which type(s) of actions are
> allowed ("N" for disabled, "S" for split only, "M" for merge only and "MS"
> for both split and merge)
> 2. introduce another global flag to indicate which type(s) of actions are
> allowed
> 3. modify the meaning of existing flag keyed by NORMALIZATION_ENABLED_KEY so
> that it indicates type(s) of actions
