If the lease is identified only by an IP address and port number, then that server can't do any progress until the lease times out. A start code is added so that the restarted server can begin doing work immediately upon recovery. For more, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1156. + '''23. <<Anchor(23)>> What is the maximum recommended cell size?''' + + A rough rule of thumb, with little empirical validation, is to keep the data in HDFS and store pointers to the data in HBase if you expect the cell size to be consistently above 10 MB. If you do expect large cell values and you still plan to use HBase for the storage of cell contents, you'll want to increase the block size and the maximum region size for the table to keep the index size reasonable and the split frequency acceptable. +
