Hi Vladimir,
Here is my cluster status:
Cluster Size: 26
Server memory: 128GB
Total Writes per sec (data): 450 Mbps
Writes per sec (count) per server: avg ~800 writes/sec (some spikes
upto 3000 writes/sec)
Max Region Size: 16GB
Regions per server: ~140 (not sure if I would be able to merge some
empty regions while table is online)
We are running CDH 4.3
Recently I changed setttings to:
Java heap size for Region Server: 32GB
hbase.hregion.memstore.flush.size: 536870912
hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles: 30
hbase.hstore.compaction.max: 15
hbase.hregion.memstore.block.multiplier: 3
hbase.regionserver.maxlogs: 90 (it is too high for 512MB memstore flush size ?)
I'm seeing weird stuff, like one region has grown upto 34GB! and has
21 store files. MAX_FILESIZE for this table is only 16GB.
Could this be a problem ?
