--------------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't really find a discussion on this topic, just a single idea sentence.
I know it's been a while, but what happens if merge/split fails? Would it leave
files in place which might cause issues if the region is moved and re-opened
elsewhere? That's one reason I could imagine wanting a tmp dir, is you have a
single atomic operation at the end to load them in.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-1

> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.5.0, 3.0.0-alpha-2

> As discussed with [~zhangduo] on HBASE-26079, we think there's no actual need
> for Splits/Merges to make use of temp directories, because the split/merge
> region files would not be loaded until the new regions are ready to open,
> meaning the split/merge operation has completed. This would then avoid the
> need for a FS rename at the end of split/merge operation.
