UNOFFICIAL I have a table that has evolved to have 1.07T tablets and I fairly confident a large portion of these are now empty or very small. I'd like to merge smaller tablets and delete empty tablets, is there a smart way to do this?
My thought was to query the metadata table for all tablets under a certain size for the table and then merge these tablets. Is the first number in thevalue the size of the tablet, ie > scan -b 1xk -e 1xk\xff -c file 1xk;34234 file:hdfs//name/accumulo/tables/1xk/t-er23423/M423432.rf [] 213134,234234 Also, are there any side effects of this that I need to be aware of when doing this on a massive table? Thanks in advance, Matt
