[jira] [Created] (ACCUMULO-952) Default action on `merge` command can be painful

Josh Elser created ACCUMULO-952:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Default action on `merge` command can be painful
                 Key: ACCUMULO-952
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-952
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: shell
    Affects Versions: 1.4.2
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Billie Rinaldi
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.5.0


If a user issues a merge via the shell for a table with no other arguments, this causes a table to merge down to one tablet. This can make Accumulo really unhappy, especially if the number of files for that tablet exceeds the configured threshold (100 by default?).

Perhaps a confirmation could be added to the merge command just to make sure that the user knows what they are doing? Other ideas?
