Is the underlying problem the performance of merging empty tablets on an active table? If so, I wonder if it would be possible to add an option to Merge a range of empty tablets and not have to lock the table. This would essentially just remove the empty tablets from the metadata table. We could check if the provided range of tablets is empty before locking and if so drop the stale references. This would eliminate the complexity of trying to creating something in Accumulo to automatically merge and would be easy for the client to perform. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
