------------------------------
Can someone comment, if this is still an issue?
> merge tool expects regions all have different sequence ids

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: stack
>
> Currently merging two regions, the merge tool will compare their sequence
> ids. If same, it will decrement one. It needs to do this because on region
> open, files are keyed by their sequenceid; if two the same, one will erase
> the other.
> Well, with the move to the aggregating hfile format, the sequenceid is
> written when the file is created and its no longer written into an aside file
> but as metadata on to the end of the file. Changing the sequenceid is no
> longer an option.
> This issue is about figuring a solution for the rare case where two store
> files have same sequence id AND we want to merge the two regions.
