Re: Partitioning an external hbase table

Unfortunately I don't think there is a clean way to achieve that (atleast
not one that I know of). Your option at this point is to run your queries
with a WHERE clause so that the predicate behind the scenes gets converted
to a range scan and restricts the amount of data that is being getting
scanned.

 I already have an external table backed by base and I'm finding that for
 even simple SELECT queries the load isn't getting evenly distributed a
 across the map tasks.  Some tasks see as few as a few hundred map input
 records while others receive more than a million.
