    Description

      If a user issues a merge via the shell for a table with no other arguments, this causes a table to merge down to one tablet. This can make Accumulo really unhappy, especially if the number of files for that tablet exceeds the configured threshold (100 by default?).

      Perhaps a confirmation could be added to the merge command just to make sure that the user knows what they are doing? Other ideas?
