Hi all, We are using HBase 0.90 with cloudera distribution for HDFS (cdh3b3). We have a setup with 4 regionservers and dozens of clients writing 1KB data 50 times per second into hbase. What we want to achieve is distributing the load to all of the regionservers, so that clients write to all regionservers. Question is: can we impact which region server the data is written to by using an appropriate rowkey? Or what other way is there to involve the max number of regionservers? Our rowkey basically consists of a timestamp but we were planning to salt it by adding a client ID or some other information to it.
thanks, Felix
