Jean-Daniel Cryans updated HBASE-2149:
--------------------------------------
Summary: hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.lowerLimit is too low (was:
hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.lowerLimit is too high)
> hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.lowerLimit is too low
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-2149
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2149
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans
> Assignee: Jean-Daniel Cryans
> Fix For: 0.20.4, 0.21.0
>
>
> The default value of hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.lowerLimit of 25% is
> very wrong and in almost all cases was problematic (I've seen this in at
> least 3 occurrences). The cost of flushing a memstore is fairly high and when
> the global size reaches 40% then ALL inserts are blocked. This means that
> with a heap of 1GB you could be flushing for 10-20 seconds or worse.
> I suggest a default setting of 38% or even 40% so that only a region or two
> will be flushed (the biggest ones) for maximum availability.
