That means namenode taking more memory for Zebra related files. The goal is to reduce the no of files/blocks The idea among various options is to use HAR ( Hadoop Archive ). Hadoop Archive reduces the block and file count by copying data from small files ( 1M, 2M ...) into a hdfs-block of larger size. Thus, reducing the total no. of blocks and files. was: Due to column group structure, Zebra can create extra files for namenode to remember.
