Hi, We have a scenario where HBase is used like a Key Value Database to map Keys to Regions. We have over 5 Million Keys, but the table size is less than 7 GB. The read volume is pretty high - About 50x of the put/delete volume. This causes hot spotting on the Data Node and the region is not split. We cannot change the maxregionsize parameter as that will impact other tables too.
Our idea is to manually inspect the row key ranges and then split the region manually and assign them to different region servers. We will continue to then monitor the rows in one region to see if needs to be split. Any experience of doing this on HBase. Is this a recommended approach? Thanks, Manish
