> There are plenty of cases where empty regions can accumulate -- incorrect guessing at split points, old data is automatically expiring off, &c. The normalizer stubbornly refuses to handle this case, despite this being an original feature it was intended to support (HBASE-6613).
> Earlier discussion had concerns for a user pre-splitting a table and then the normalizer coming along and merging those splits away before they could be populated. Thus, right now, the default behavior via {{hbase.normalizer.merge.min_region_size.mb=1}} is to not split any region that's so small. Later, we added {{hbase.normalizer.merge.min_region_age.days=3}}, which prevents us from merging any region too young. So there's plenty of nobs for an operator to customize their behavior.
> But when I set {{hbase.normalizer.merge.min_region_size.mb=0}}, I still end up with stubborn regions that won't merge away. Looks like a large neighbor will prevent a merge from going through.
