I have a table with a hundred or so regions. When I look in the hbase web ui, I see that all the regions are on one server. Of course we have many other tables and lots of data. Some tables seem to distribute their regions amongst many servers.
I know there probably isn't a "pat" answer to this but: wouldn't I want a large table with many regions to be distributed across many machines? Just curious to understand the nuance. If I *do* want a uniform distribution of regions to servers, how would I achieve it? -geoff
