Hey all,
We're wanting to add 10 additional nodes to our 20-node HBase cluster. Our
tables are pre-split into 800 regions, 40 regions to a machine. What will
happen when we add 10 new nodes to the cluster? Will the HBase load balancer
automatically re-distr
Yes, the if the balancer is enabled (balance_switch true), hbase will
automatically balance the tables across the new pool of region servers. At
this point your locality will be shot for those regions that have moved, so
I recommend running major compactions. If your total number of regions is
no
Hey all,
We're wanting to add 10 additional nodes to our 20-node HBase cluster. Our
tables are pre-split into 800 regions, 40 regions to a machine. What will
happen when we add 10 new nodes to the cluster? Will the HBase load
balancer automatically re-distribute these regions to the new nodes?
