Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-15249:
----------------------------------------
IMO when 2 regions getting write requests ( not necessarily the most count) it
may not be good to merge them.. They are any way growing. So merging based on
region size wont be a good idea.
> Provide lower bound on number of regions in region normalizer for pre-split
> tables

> AMS (Ambari Metrics System) developer found the following scenario:
> Metrics table was pre-split with many regions on large cluster (1600 nodes).
> After some time, AMS stopped working because region normalizer merged the
> regions into few big regions which were not able to serve high read / write
> load.
> This is a big problem since the write requests flood the regions faster than
> the splits can happen resulting in poor performance.
> We should consider setting reasonable lower bound on region count.
> If the table is pre-split, we can use initial region count as the lower bound.
