Hi Mark Before shutting down a region server the memstore flush will automatically happen provided it is a clean shutdown.
If you want to manually flush you can use the hbase shell command flush 'regionname' or flush 'tablename'. Reg, CDH version i am not aware of .

If not, how would one manually flush it? I also noticed the graceful_stop script but it appears not to work with the Cloudera CDH3 distribution. Any reason for this? Thanks
