UNCLASSIFIED All queries will include a on date range, ane a particular family value which will specify the shard of data. The splits have been setup to prevent hotspoting on load and because the most recent data is queried most heavily striping the data across the cluster for each day will ensure query distribution.
My understanding of the splits was that they were only used during loading the data, so once the data is loaded they were redundant. Is that correct? ________________________________ From: David Medinets [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 9 April 2013 10:27 To: accumulo-user Subject: Re: Removing splits [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] What advantage do you feel you'll gain by removing the splits? Do you know how you'll be querying the data? On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 7:35 PM, Dickson, Matt MR <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: UNCLASSIFIED Hi guys, Just a simple question. We ingest data in daily batches and create splits on the data to distribute the loading, eg splits are 20130407-1, 20130407-2, ... 20130407-n Once this data is loaded the splits will not be required again. Is there a maximum number of splits a table can have? How can splits be removed once they are nolonger required, I can't see any command in the api?
