Say we have a use case that has sequential row keys and we have rows
0-100. Let's assume that 100 rows = the split size. Now when there is a
split it will split at the halfway mark so there will be two regions as
follows:
Region1 [START-49]
Region2 [50-END]
So now at this point all inserts will be writing to Region2 only
correct? Now at some point Region2 will need to split and it will look
like the following before the split:
Region1 [START-49]
Region2 [50-150]
After the split it will look like:
Region1 [START-49]
Region2 [50-100]
Region3 [150-END]
And this pattern will continue correct? My question is when there is a
use case that has sequential keys how would any of the older regions
every receive anymore writes? It seems like they would always be stuck
at MaxRegionSize/2. Can someone please confirm or clarify this issue?
Thanks
