Hi, We are running Opentsdb on CDH 4.3 hbase cluster, with most of the default settings. The cluster is heavy on write and I'm trying to see what parameters I can tune to optimize the write performance.
# I get messages related to Memstore[1] and Slow Response[2] very often, is this an indication of any issue ? I tried increasing some parameters on one node: - hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles - from default 7 to 15 - hbase.hregion.memstore.block.multiplier - from default 2 to 8 - and heap size from 16GB to 64GB * 'Compaction queue' went up to ~200 within 60 mins after restarting region server with new parameters and the log started to get even more noisy. Can anyone please suggest if I'm going to right direction with these new settings ? or if there are other thing that I could monitor or change to make it better. Thank you!
