Found this while going through the online merge jira... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8217
The comments were interesting and I as an user would agree to the fact that supplying a patch is good and it's on me to decide whether I should use it or not. The core committee obviously is pushing for 0.96 but given that we have clusters running older versions, I feel this tool would have helped my current case immensely. I am all for disabling a region and then doing a merge. To shutdown the whole cluster and put things in maintenance mode is something that I would love to avoid. On a side note, it will help me avoid staying up all night :-) I will give this patch a try and provide my feedback. Maybe it might help some other folks out there.
