Hbase region minimization

Does Major compaction in Hbase lead to regions merging or the regions are merged only manually by applying merge command?

Please help @Manoj69 @jsensharma

Hello @singhvNt

It's an Old Post, yet answering the Query for posterity. MajorCompaction doesn't perform any Merging of Regions. Either Region Normalizer or MergeRegion Command merges the Regions.
