bq. that some times merge just does not work. Can you identify under what scenario the merge doesn't work (through closer inspection of the region server log - assuming you have DEBUG logging turned on) ?
bq. Are there minimum requirements for two regions to be merged? If the two adjacent regions to be merged are on different servers, HBase would move one of them to the other region's server. bq. If those requirements are not met, does the merge process exit silently? Nothing I am aware of.
