[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-15098) Normalizer switch in configuration is not used

["Lars George (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15098?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15096149#comment-15096149 ] 

Lars George commented on HBASE-15098:
-------------------------------------

Weird thing is, this was meant to be in there? See https://github.com/apache/hbase/commit/fd37ccb63c545850c08c132b2f6470354a6629f9#diff-910fe86f307ab33e4e946c666e739972R557

Apparently https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14367 removed the switch in favor of the task always running, but then be able to enable it per table using the shell? 

Does this mean we just have to remove the configuration property from {{hbase-default.xml}}?

> The newly added global switch to enable the new normalizer functionality is never used apparently, meaning it is always on. The {{hbase-default.xml}} has this:
> {noformat}
>   <property>
>     <name>hbase.normalizer.enabled</name>
>     <value>false</value>
>     <description>If set to true, Master will try to keep region size
>       within each table approximately the same.</description>
>   </property>
> {noformat}
> But only a test class uses it to set the switch to "true". We should implement a proper {{if}} statement that checks this value and properly disables the feature cluster wide if not wanted.
