In TestMergeTransaction, can you add test where region splitting stops merging ?

Thanks

    In TestMergeTransaction, can you add test where region splitting stops merging and merge can resume to completion ?

Thanks

> The feature of this online merge:
> 1.Online,no necessary to disable table
> 2.Less change for current code, could applied in trunk,0.94 or 0.92,0.90
> 3.Easy to call merege request, no need to input a long region name, only encoded name enough
> 4.No limit when operation, you don't need to tabke care the events like Server Dead, Balance, Split, Disabing/Enabing table, no need to take care whether you send a wrong merge request, it has alread done for you
> 5.Only little offline time for two merging regions
> We need merge in the following cases：
> 1.Region hole or region overlap, can’t be fix by hbck
> 2.Region become empty because of TTL and not reasonable Rowkey design
> 3.Region is always empty or very small because of presplit when create table
> 4.Too many empty or small regions would reduce the system performance(e.g. mslab)
> Current merge tools only support offline and are not able to redo if exception is thrown in the process of merging, causing a dirty data
> For online system, we need a online merge.
> This implement logic of this patch for  Online Merge is :
> For example, merge regionA and regionB into regionC
> 1.Offline the two regions A and B
> 2.Merge the two regions in the HDFS(Create regionC’s directory, move regionA’s and regionB’s file to regionC’s directory, delete regionA’s and regionB’s directory)
> 3.Add the merged regionC to .META.
> 4.Assign the merged regionC
> As design of this patch , once we do the merge work in the HDFS,we could redo it until successful if it throws exception or abort or server restart, but couldn’t be rolled back. 
> It depends on
> Use zookeeper to record the transaction journal state, make redo easier
> Use zookeeper to send/receive merge request
> Merge transaction is executed on the master
> Support calling merge request through API or shell tool
> About the merge process, please see the attachment and patch
