Hi Esteban, Thanks for sharing ideas.
We are on Hbase 0.96 and java 1.6. I have enabled short-circuit read, and heap size is around 16G for each region server. We have about 20 of them. The list of rowkeys that I need to process is about 10M. I am using batch gets already and the batch size is ~2000 gets. thomas On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 11:01 AM, Esteban Gutierrez <este...@cloudera.com> wrote: > Hello Thomas, > > What version of HBase are you using? sorting and grouping based on the > regions the rows is going to help for sure.
