--------------------------------------
Summary: Usability and aesthetic problems with the table view UI
Key: HBASE-17621
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17621
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
HBASE-15675 changed the display and formatting of the table view in the master
UI. After this change by default regions are sorted lexiographically by encoded
region name, which has no correspondence with ordering in the keyspace.
Previously entries adjacent in the region list would be adjacent in keyspace
too. This made it easy to locate boundaries for split and merge requests. This
is a big step backwards for usability. For anyone who wants to manage splits
and merges (after HBASE-17609), unless they have memorized what encoded names
correspond to the adjacent regions of interest, they first have to check the
box named "ShowDetailName&Start/End Key" and resort the lists.
Related, naming that element "ShowDetailName&Start/End Key" is very poor
aesthetics.
Related, the checkboxes are right of the description text, which is an
unconventional design. In most UI designs, checkboxes appear left of the
description text.
Related, following that element is an inexplicable string "+ + + + +"
