                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2844
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: regionserver
            Reporter: Pranav Khaitan
            Assignee: Pranav Khaitan
            Priority: Minor


It may sometimes be advantageous to prevent the number of regions from growing 
very large. This may happen if the values are large in size even though the 
number of keyvalues are not large. If the number of regions becomes too large, 
then it is difficult to accommodate the memstore for each region in memory. In 
such cases, we either have to flush out memstore to disk or decrease size of 
each memstore.
