Thanks for the reply! We are on 90.1.
Does this mean I could run the 90.2 balancer on my existing 90.1 cluster to rebalance the tables a bit? -geoff -----Original Message----- From: saint....@gmail.com [mailto:saint....@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Stack Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2011 2:16 PM To: user@hbase.apache.org Cc: hbase-u...@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Re: distribution of regions to servers Hey Geoff: Is this a 0.90.2 (or .3) hbase? It had some fixup done on the balancer to make it a little more random. Otherwise, yes, a table should be better spread about the cluster. This has come up a few times here in the past. The case has been well-made by now that the balancer needs to take into consideration the table a region is from and make an effort at distributing tables evenly across the cluster (There is an issue for this already).
