Also my reads will be far greater than writes so in this case is it fine
since I can manually split the region if there is a problem with reading?

Right now we have 5 region servers and one of our tables is quite
small (500k records) therefore it sits all in one region. This is
happening because we are using a row key that corresponds to a FK in
one of our MySQL databases so it's sequential in nature. I know the
obvious fix for this would be to apply some sort of hash function on
the rowkey before reading/writing but before I go down that route I
wanted to know if I should bother. When does hot spotting start to
become an issue? Would you say this is a cause for concern at this
time? I should mentioned that at this time we are only writing to this
table but we will soon be going live so it will start receiving get
requests.
Thanks for any suggestions.
