dlmarion opened a new issue #2328: URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/2328
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** The merge operation tries to get a write lock on the table. It can't get a write lock if there are any other fate transactions that have the read lock or write lock. There are cases where a merge operation needs to be done now as opposed to when it can get the lock. **Describe the solution you'd like** A parameter to the merge command that when supplied will cancel or fail any/all fate transactions that are blocking the merge command from getting the write lock on the table **Describe alternatives you've considered** The current mechanism for doing this is to shut down the master (to release the fate lock) and manually fail/cancel the transactions on the table. Another option would be to add a new command that would pause all activity on a table so that administrative actions could be performed, but this seems much more complex. **Additional context** -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
