Thank you Josh! Exactly, merging is asynchronous indeed, thus the need to monitor when it's completed, so that I know when Ican submit the next merge request without overloading the system. I saw there is the command list_procedures. Do you think this can be used to monitor any non-completed merge processes? If not, is there an easy way to parse the hbase:meta through shell to obtain the required info? What should I look for? If I am getting it right, I should see all three regions while merge is active (one new + two old) and just the new one when it will have completed. So, when the two old regions are no longer present, merge can be considered completed. Does that sounds correct? Of course, I would prefer to just use a simpler command, like list_processes, if it is applicable. Regards
