I believe the RFile is assigned to each tablet that contain keys in the RFiles key range. So, 1 RFile is assigned to one or more tablets. The bulk import RFile is removed after it has been compacted by all assigned tablets.

How does Accumulo process an r-file for bulk ingesting when the key range of an r-file is within one tablet's key range and when the key range of an r-file spans two or more tablets? If the r-file is within one tablet's range I thought the file was "just renamed" and added to the tablet's list of r-files. Is that correct? If the key range of the r-file spans two or more files is the r-file partitioned into separate r-files for each appropriate tablet server or are the records "batch-written" to each appropriate tablet in memory?
