In http://hbase.apache.org/book/hbase_metrics.html we see
""" 15.4.2. Warning To Ganglia Users Warning to Ganglia Users: by default, HBase will emit a LOT of metrics per RegionServer which may swamp your installation. Options include either increasing Ganglia server capacity, or configuring HBase to emit fewer metrics. """ However, although there is documentation to help set up Ganglia metrics for HBase, there doesn't seem to be any that shows how to make HBase emit fewer metrics. Could someone lend me a hand? I have increased the period in hadoop-metrics.properties but that has proven insufficient. thanks rone
