Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-5699: ------------------------------------------- bq. Intuitively it seems like the number of WAL's that are used should be related to the number of spindles available to hbase. I disagree, considering that most of the deployments have rep=3 you're using three spindles not one. The multiplying effect could generate a lot of disk seeks since the WALs are competing like that (plus flushing, compacting, etc). > Run with > 1 WAL in HRegionServer > --------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5699 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5699 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: binlijin > Assignee: Li Pi > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
