keith-turner opened a new issue, #5138: URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/5138
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** Bulk imports that continually add files to a tablet that already has a lot of files will eventually cause problems. **Describe the solution you'd like** #5104 adds limits that can prevent this situation from happening, but those default to unlimited. There is also an existing property table.bulk.max.tablets that was introduced in 2.1.0 that defaults to unlimited. After #5104 is merged could change those defaults to a limit and also change the existing property table.bulk.max.tablets to also have a default limit. Could set the limit of all these properties to 100 to start with. When a user encounters the limit they can adjust as needed. This will make the default behavior of the system more sustainable. **Describe alternatives you've considered** A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
