>                 Key: HBASE-14838
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14838
>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.1.2
>            Reporter: Romil Choksi
>
> SImpleRegionNormalizer does not merge empty region of a table
> Steps to repro:
> - Create an empty table with few, say 5-6 regions without any data in any of them
> - Verify hbase:meta table to verify the regions for the table or check HMaster UI
> - Enable normalizer switch and normalization for this table
> - Run normalizer, by 'normalize' command from hbase shell
> - Verify the regions for table by scanning hbase:meta table or checking HMaster web UI
> The empty regions are not merged on running the region normalizer. This seems to be an edge case with completely empty regions since the Normalizer checks for: smallestRegion (in this case 0 size) + smallestNeighborOfSmallestRegion (in this case 0 size) > avg region size (in this case 0 size)
> thanks to [~elserj] for verifying this from the source code side
