Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-22285:
--------------------------------------
Ah, yes. Another new feature here is merging away "0" sized regions. This is an
explicit change from current implementation. IMHO, I think the addition of the
minimum region age configuration is a better solution than ignoring regions
smaller than 1mb.
I think adding the configurations doesn't make it so confusing. I see that the
implementation is a bit complex because it's spread across a couple different
classes. Let me see what I can come up with.
> A normalizer which merges very small size regions with adjacent
> regions.(MergeToNormalize)

> There are scenarios where we have seen around 5% of total regions with a size
> of 0 bytes and another 5-6 % regions with size in a few bytes. These kinds of
> regions increase with time considering we have TTL over the rows.
> After exploring the option of RegionNormalizer and doing some quick runs we
> found that that is not suitable considering it also splits the regions and
> merges to normalize. What we really want is to split as per Split policy and
> merge very small regions with adjacent regions to make sure we reduce 0-byte
> regions.
> We can plugin this normalizer using the property
> "hbase.master.normalizer.class"
