-------------------------------
Attachment: hbase-7849.patch
> Provide administrative limits around bulkloads of files into a single region
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-7849
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7849
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: regionserver
> Reporter: Harsh J
> Assignee: Jimmy Xiang

>
> Given the current mechanism, it is possible for users to flood a single
> region with 1k+ store files via the bulkload API and basically cause the
> region to become a flying dutchman - never getting assigned successfully
> again.
> Ideally, an administrative limit could solve this. If the bulkload RPC call
> can check if the region already has X store files, then it can reject the
> request to add another and throw a failure at the client with an appropriate
> message.
> This may be an intrusive change, but seems necessary in perfecting the gap
> between devs and ops in managing a HBase clusters. This would especially
> prevent abuse in form of unaware devs not pre-splitting tables before
> bulkloading things in. Currently, this leads to ops pain, as the devs think
> HBase has gone non-functional and begin complaining.
