Billy Pearson commented on HADOOP-2138: --------------------------------------- >From what I understand about writing files to data nodes I do not thank is is >a major problem. If the regions are not located on the host serving server on >the first compaction they would be stored local first and stay local from >there on out unless the current servers hard drive is full and it has to store >it on a different server. Over all the region servers would self fix this >problem by default over time. So only time this would be an issue is on a restart or after a failed region server. > [hbase] Master should allocate regions to the regionserver hosting the region > data where possible > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2138 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2138 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/hbase > Reporter: stack > > Currently, regions are assigned regionservers based off a basic loading > attribute. A factor to include in the assignment calcuation is the location > of the region in hdfs; i.e. servers hosting region replicas. If the cluster > is such that regionservers are being run on the same nodes as those running > hdfs, then ideally the regionserver for a particular region should be running > on the same server as hosts a region replica. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
