Andrew Purtell resolved HBASE-1248. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Not a Problem Superseded by a lot of work on pluggable policies. > Fast splitting for last region > ------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-1248 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1248 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ben Maurer > > I have an HBase table where items are keyed by a sequential row id. When > doing bulk appends to this table, the last region of the table gets pretty > large until enough compactions can be done to sort everything out. > In this type of case, it'd be better if when the region serving the largest > keys doesn't split at the midkey, but on the last key. One way to implement > this would be by saying that when the top region reaches MAX_REGION_SIZE/2, > create a new region, with the lower half getting all the data and the top > half empty. For bulk sequential inserts, this should avoid the need for any > compactions. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
