Bryan Duxbury commented on HADOOP-2075: --------------------------------------- Actually you wouldn't have to be too concerned with the distribution of splits early on, because even if some of the regions ended up being abnormally small, they would eventually be merged with neighboring regions, no? > [hbase] Bulk load and dump tools > -------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2075 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2075 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: contrib/hbase > Reporter: stack > Priority: Minor > > Hbase needs tools to facilitate bulk upload and possibly dumping. Going via > the current APIs, particularly if the dataset is large and cell content is > small, uploads can take a long time even when using many concurrent clients. > PNUTS folks talked of need for a different API to manage bulk upload/dump. > Another notion would be to somehow have the bulk loader tools somehow write > regions directly in hdfs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
