Hi Folks, We are running in HBase problems due to hitting the limit of ZK connections. This cluster is running HBase 1.1.x and ZK 3.4.6.x on I3en ec2 instance type in AWS. Almost all our Region server are listed in zk logs with "Too many connections from /<IP> - max is 60". 2020-06-01 21:42:08,375 - WARN [NIOServerCxn.Factory: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181:NIOServerCnxnFactory@193] - Too many connections from /<ip> - max is 60
On a average each RegionServer has ~250 regions. We are also running Phoenix on this cluster. Most of the queries are short range scans but sometimes we are doing full table scans too. It seems like one of the simple fix is to increase maxClientCnxns property in zoo.cfg to 300, 500, 700, etc. I will probably do that. But, i am just curious to know In what scenarios these connections are created/used(Scans/Puts/Delete or during other RegionServer operations)? Are these also created by hbase clients/apps(my guess is NO)? How can i calculate optimal value of maxClientCnxns for my cluster/usage? -- Thanks & Regards, Anil Gupta
