Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-16765: --------------------------------------- In comparison, the default IncreasingToUpperBoundRegionSplitPolicy would need 4 regions per table and server to reach the maximum split size. > Improve IncreasingToUpperBoundRegionSplitPolicy > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16765 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16765 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > > We just did some experiments on some larger clusters and found that while > using IncreasingToUpperBoundRegionSplitPolicy generally works well and is > very convenient, it does tend to produce too many regions. > Since the logic is - by design - local, checking the number of regions of the > table in question on the local server only, we end with more regions then > necessary. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
