Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-1050:
---------------------------------------
Just as a data point, today as part of an experiment a cluster that was shut
down cleanly with 637 regions and average load of 28 came back up and settled
down finally at 929 regions and an average load of 41.
> Allow regions to split around scanners

> We have a number of scanners iterating over a table that also sees a lot of
> constant write activity. If the scans are too frequent we will suppress
> splitting. At a lull then a number of splits happen all at once, occasionally
> overwhelming DFS and causing file corruption.
> I wonder how much work it would be to split regions around scanners. Rather
> than wait for scanner leases to expire, suspend/block the scanner, split the
> table, and then negotiate with the client to continue.
