Sorry, forgot to say that I've changed the hregion filesize to 128MB in
hbase-site.xml as follows:
<name>hbase.hregion.max.filesize</name>
<value>134217728</value>
Is any other setting that I miss ?
thank you,
Adrian

A region split happens when a family grows bigger than 256MB, if you
have less than that in a whole table then it will be hosted in a
single region.
