regions

                 Key: HBASE-1238
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1238
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: regionserver
    Affects Versions: 0.19.0
            Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 0.19.1, 0.20.0


We have a situation where each region server is loaded with 100+ regions, most 
of them in the same table. During a long upload of webpages, each memcache gets 
filled near equally fast so that the global memcache limit is usually triggered 
before the max memcache size. Since that emergency flush does not trigger 
compactions, the number of store files just keeps growing until it fails on all 
kinds of errors.

We need a better story for this as this is a "normal" situation.
