Kevin Odell commented on HBASE-7084: ------------------------------------ use HFilev2 sounds weird. I mean for our region starting point we don't have to worry about HFilev1. For larger environments running .92+ we usually recommend between 10 - 20GB to keep the region count down. > Raise default minimum region split size > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7084 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7084 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.96.0 > Reporter: Harsh J > Priority: Trivial > > Several times I've seen folks mentioning to raise region split sizes from the > default 256m to something more suitable (mostly folks say 1 GB, sometimes 2 > GB, more than other options), in order to control the # of regions explosion > once they begin heavy-hitting the tables. > Perhaps it makes sense to raise the default itself, since there are ways to > bring it down per-table if needed by some use-cases? > Opening this as a discussion first, since this "too many regions" trouble is > quite prevalent among newcomers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
