Sergey Shelukhin commented on HBASE-7630:
-----------------------------------------
My main goal would be improving compactions (but this can be achieved with
certain level-like compaction algorithm, call it stripe-compactions :)), and
improving failover (where there are many small regions, it's easier to shuffle
them and preserve both locality and balance of data size between servers).
Also good for reads, yes.
> support large number of small regions

> Issue Type: Brainstorming
> Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin

> Supporting large number of small regions can help improve scalability in
> terms of number of tables/cfs/etc., help speed up recovery, and also lessen
> the impact of compactions (due to there being a large number of small
> compactions).
> This is an issue to attempt brainstorming current limitations.
> We might want to take this into consideration when designing master tasks
> such as in HBASE-5487.
