-------------------------------------

             Summary: Incorrect help message for merge_region
                 Key: HBASE-20254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20254
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: shell
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Peter Somogyi


In 2.0 merge_region command accepts full region name not just the encoded region name but the help says only encoded can be used. The move command only accepts encoded region name.

 

hbase(main):003:0> help 'merge_region'

Merge two regions. Passing 'true' as the optional third parameter will force

a merge ('force' merges regardless else merge will fail unless passed

adjacent regions. 'force' is for expert use only).

 

NOTE: You must pass the encoded region name, not the full region name so

this command is a little different from other region operations.  The encoded

region name is the hash suffix on region names: e.g. if the region name were

TestTable,0094429456,1289497600452.527db22f95c8a9e0116f0cc13c680396. then

the encoded region name portion is 527db22f95c8a9e0116f0cc13c680396

 

Examples:

 

  hbase> merge_region 'ENCODED_REGIONNAME', 'ENCODED_REGIONNAME'

  hbase> merge_region 'ENCODED_REGIONNAME', 'ENCODED_REGIONNAME', true
