Subbu M Iyer commented on HBASE-3658:
-------------------------------------
Here is what we would do:
1. At the time of RS startup we examine the heap settings from config for the
following config settings:
a) hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.upperLimit
b) hfile.block.cache.size
If some of a+b is say 80% of heap (assuming we need additional 0.2 to do other
household chores), we abort the RS with appropriate error message.
c) Do we also need an additional config setting to declare default minimum we
need to household chores?
Please let me know.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3658
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.90.1
> Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans
> Fix For: 0.92.0
>
>
> Something I just witnessed, the block cache setting was at 70% but the max
> global memstore size was at the default of 40% meaning that 110% of the heap
> can potentially be "assigned" and then you need more heap to do stuff like
> flushing and compacting.
> We should run a configuration check that alerts the user when that happens
> and maybe even refuse to start.
