Hi Vineet, So to get the size you can get the list of stores for the region and call getStoreSizeUncompressed on each store. I'm not 100% sure this method is accessible from outside the class. If it's not accessible, might be good to have an easy way to get this information.
you can take a look at ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy,java and Store.java to see how it's done. I will take a deeper look when I will get off the plane ;) JM 2013/12/2 Jean-Marc Spaggiari <jean-m...@spaggiari.org> > Hum.
