Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-5101: --------------------------------------- @Ted First cut -- simply some configured number of max regions. Maybe it would stop splitting at a point where it can handle if some number of rs's going down and its regions are reassigned. There could possibly be a limit on tables as well -- and we could put cap on the # of region servers/table and # of regions/region server. > Add a max number of regions per regionserver limit > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5101 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5101 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.92.0 > Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh > > In a testing environment, a cluster got to a state with more than 1500 > regions per region server, and essentially became stuck and unavailable. We > could add a limit to the number of regions that a region server can serve to > prevent this from happening. This looks like it could be implemented in the > core or as a coprocessor. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
