------------------------------------
Summary: A "smarter" merge command
Key: ACCUMULO-1744
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1744
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: shell
Reporter: Josh Elser
Fix For: 1.7.0
The `merge` shell command is a nice little feature that helps undo bad
partitioning of a table due to a variety of reasons (too many splits added, too
small of a split threshold).
The way that `merge` actually works isn't very user friendly as it forces the
user to manually chain invocations of `merge` together to "implement" the
semantics they really want of merge into N tablets or merge into tablets of
size no more than X.
Given that we have all of the information stored in {{!METADATA}} to
atuomatically compute this, it seems like a straightforward command that we
could provide, whether as different options on the existing `merge` command or
as a new command.
