Esteban Gutierrez commented on HBASE-15324:
-------------------------------------------
[~huaxiang] I think the problem is the value of the epsilon used for the
precision of the types involved (float x double). I think it should be at
least 2.22e-16 (2^-52) or even 1.11e-16 (2^-53). Created HBASE-17058 for
follow up. Thanks.

> We introduce jitter for region split decision in HBASE-13412, but the
> following line in {{ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy}} may cause long value
> overflow if MAX_FILESIZE is specified to Long.MAX_VALUE:
> {code}
> this.desiredMaxFileSize += (long)(desiredMaxFileSize * (RANDOM.nextFloat() -
> 0.5D) * jitter);
> {code}
> In our case we specify MAX_FILESIZE to Long.MAX_VALUE to prevent target
> region to split.
