It starts with smaller regions and then ramps up the size as the table in question is growing in size. Makes make for a more even distribution of regions.
Into how many region did you presplit your table? How many region servers do you have available in this cluster? Maybe that number was less than what that policy estimated to be a good number of regions for your cluster. -- Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: Vladimir Rodionov <vrodio...@carrieriq.com> To: "dev@hbase.apache.org" <dev@hbase.apache.org> Cc: Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2013 10:25 PM Subject: RE: MAX_FILESIZE and hbase.hregion.max.filesize are both 10Gb Thanks, Ted.
