I noticed that the default value for tserver.total.mutation.queue.max in 1.7 is 50M but in 1.6 it is 1M (tserver.mutation.queue.max). Is this increase to compensate for the performance hit of moving the WALs to the HDFS or some other factor?
Is there a way to compute the number of times the buffer is flushed to calculate how this effects performance? -- Jeff Kubina
