Eric Newton resolved ACCUMULO-952.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: Eric Newton (was: Billie Rinaldi)
I added a prompt if the user provides no arguments to control merging, which
merges the whole table. Apparently this is surprising to people. :-)
> Default action on `merge` command can be painful

> Key: ACCUMULO-952
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-952
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: shell
> Affects Versions: 1.4.2
> Reporter: Josh Elser
> Assignee: Eric Newton
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.5.0
>
>
> If a user issues a merge via the shell for a table with no other arguments,
> this causes a table to merge down to one tablet. This can make Accumulo
> really unhappy, especially if the number of files for that tablet exceeds the
> configured threshold (100 by default?).
> Perhaps a confirmation could be added to the merge command just to make sure
> that the user knows what they are doing? Other ideas?
