Description

Myself and coworker of mine have both typed "merge" into the Accumulo shell expecting it to print help information (so that we could merge some historical shards) only to find that it because merging an entire table together. One cloud was put into such a bad state that we had to manually remove the tablet definitions from the !META table and delete the files in HDFS.
