130 GB raw data will take in HBase since it adds the family name, qualifier and timestamp to each value, so it can even be 150GB. You can check it exactly, by loading only one row with one column and see how much it takes on the HDFS file system (run compaction first).
Next, you 5 times that since you have 5 times replication, so 5x150=750GB On Jan 11, 2013, at 5:07 AM, Panshul Whisper wrote: > Hello, > > I have a 5 node hadoop cluster and a fully distributed Hbase setup on the > cluster with 130 GB of HDFS space avaialble.
