Fast splitting for last region
------------------------------
Key: HBASE-1248
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1248
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ben Maurer
Fix For: 0.20.0
I have an HBase table where items are keyed by a sequential row id. When doing
bulk appends to this table, the last region of the table gets pretty large
until enough compactions can be done to sort everything out.
In this type of case, it'd be better if when the region serving the largest
keys doesn't split at the midkey, but on the last key. One way to implement
this would be by saying that when the top region reaches MAX_REGION_SIZE/2,
create a new region, with the lower half getting all the data and the top half
empty. For bulk sequential inserts, this should avoid the need for any
compactions.
