You are already compromised i/o-wise having two disks only. I have not the
experience to say for sure but basic physics would seem to dictate that
having your two disks (partially) mirrored compromises your i/o even more.

You are in a bit of a hard place. Your operators want the machine to boot
even after it loses 50% of its disk.

Ok. You get the bit that seeks are about 10ms or each so with two disks you
can do 2x100 seeks a second presuming no one else is using disk.

These hfiles are created on same cluster with MR? (i.e. they are using up
i/os)

Yes.

Downside is that your reads may require more seeks to find a keyvalue.

Can you cache more?

Can you make it so files are bigger before you flush?

So, it is running at full bore 24/7?  There is no 'downtime'... a time when
the traffic is not so heavy?

Have you studied your compactions?  You realize that a major compaction
will do full rewrite of your dataset?  When they run, how many storefiles
are there?

Do you have to run once a day?  Can you not run once a week?  Can you
manage the compactions yourself... and run them a region at a time in a
rolling manner across the cluster rather than have them just run whenever
it suits them once a day?

It could but don't. Enable deferring sync'ing first if you can 'lose' some
data.

Work on your flushing and compactions before you mess w/ WAL.

What version of hbase are you on? You say CDH but the newer your hbase, the
better it does generally.
