I read the following from the Accumulo manual on tablet merging <https://accumulo.apache.org/1.6/accumulo_user_manual.html#_merging_tablets>:
> Over time, a table can get very large, so large that it has hundreds of > thousands of split points. Once there are enough tablets to spread a table > across the entire cluster, additional splits may not improve performance, > and may create unnecessary bookkeeping. > So would the optimal number of tablets for a very large table be close to the total tservers times the total cores of the machine (or the worker threads the tservers are config to use--whichever is less)?
