             Summary: Region normalizer failed to trigger merge action where expected
                 Key: HBASE-16059
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16059
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: master
            Reporter: Romil Choksi
             Fix For: 2.0.0


Region normalizer failed to trigger merge action where expected

Steps to reproduce:
- Pre-split the test table into 5 regions with keys 1,3,7,8
- Insert some data for each of the split. 27K rows for regions starting with key 1, and 100K rows for each of the regions with start key 3,7 and 8
- Scan the test table, and verify that these regions exists -  1) STARTKEY => ‘' ENDKEY => ’1’  2)  STARTKEY => ’1’ ENDKEY => ’3’
- Turn on normalization, verify normalization switch is enabled and that normalization is true for test table
- Run normalizer a few times
- Scan test table again, verify that regions don’t exist anymore  1) STARTKEY => ‘' ENDKEY => ’1’  2)  STARTKEY => ’1’ ENDKEY => ’3’, but instead a new region is created with  STARTKEY => ’’ ENDKEY => ’3’
The test now fails, with the last step failing at assertion. 

Looking into the Master log, I see that normalization plan was computed for the test table but it decides that no normalization is needed for the test table, and that the regions look good.
