Himanish,
Are we talking about an African or European Swallow? (Sorry its a reference to the Monty Python movie scene where they cross the bridge after being asked 3 questions which they must answer correctly? [What's the forward air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?]) The point is that you're asking a question which has no valid answer because there are so many variables that will effect the timings. Just to list a couple of the things that will impact your performance: 1) Hardware 2) Network topology 3) Table schema. 4) Tuning of Hadoop environment 5) Caching? Oh wait, that could be considered Tuning. So while I can understand that you want to improve your performance, you really have to get down and look at a couple of larger issues. -Mike PS. Whatever expectations you have, you'll need to lower them. ;-) ---------------------------------------- > Date: Tue, 24 May 2011 14:31:21 -0400 > Subject: HBase Transaction per second in Map-Reduce > From: himan...@gmail.com > To: user@hbase.apache.org > > Hi, > > Could anybody please point to some article or paper which can give an > understanding of the transaction per second (both read and write) that is > supported or seen to be accomplished using HBase Map-Reduce. > > We have written few HBase Map-reduces which are not giving us the > desired/expected performance . > > -- > Thanks & Regards > Himanish
