Hi, I am a new user of HBase, I am curious about the inert process of HBase. Could you please explain it in details?
The question is: when I created a table (only one column, to make it easy to describe), and insert a huge amount of data into the table. I know it is a B-Tree like storage structure, what is the mechanism to build the table? 1. When the table size is over a threshold, how to split it? 2. When inserting data into the table, is all the data is in memory? If not, how to make sure the performance is good enough? 3. When all the data has been inserted into the table, there must be a lot of files. And the files size may differ at some extend (some file is several M, while some may be several hundred M), do I need to make the file size similar and how? Thanks -Xin
