Zhihong Yu commented on HBASE-4991:
-----------------------------------
Good point.
As I outlined @ 26/Jan/12 23:38, we don't need to create empty region.
Therefore we don't merge regions.
For successive regions R1, R2 and R3, if we delete R2, we can change the end
key of R1 to be the original end key of R2 and drop region R2 directly.
> Provide capability to delete named region
