Hi, Tuning HBase performance I've found a lot of settings which affect compaction process (off-peak hours, time between compactions, compaction ratio, region sizes, etc.). They all seem to be useful and there are recommendations in the doc saying which values to set. But I found no way to assess how they actually affect my cluster performance, i.e. how much resources is taken by compaction and when. I would like to figure out which settings work best for my dataset and my specific workload but with only general recommendations in hand it seems difficult to do.
For example, I have difficulties answering the following questions: * can I shorten my off-peak hours range? * can I afford to do compactions more often? or more aggressively? * how much degrades my performance if region size is becoming too large? HBase version I'm using is 1.1.2 Alexander
