Good point. Delete range would be for when you want to age off the data. If you want to keep the data in fewer tablets, look at merging. Billie > Splits are used by the AccumuloInputFormat class (during a map-reduce job) to determine the number of mappers used by the job. If you have 1,000 splits, you'll get 1,000 mappers. Additionally, let's say that you have a table with information from A to Z in one tablet (i.e., no splits). If you split on M, then you'll have two tablets. As the table is split again and again, more tablets are created. Eventually these tablets are spread over the cluster. If you don't create the splits yourself, then Accumulo will split a tablet automatically when its size passes some configurable setting. > > > On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 8:42 PM, Billie Rinaldi <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On Apr 8, 2013 7:36 PM, "Dickson, Matt MR" <[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> > UNCLASSIFIED >> > >> > Hi guys, >> > >> > Just a simple question.
