HI, In my business case, it is unnecessary to keep more then one version of data. The application code will never try to get/scan older versions.
Should I set the MAX_VERSIONS => 1 for every table, instead of the default 3 ? The hbase book online said: Compression will boost performance by reducing the size of StoreFiles and thus reducing I/O. (http://hbase.apache.org/book/important_configurations.html) I have enabled the SNAPPY compression, ideally i will reduce data to 22.2% remaining. So if i set the MAX_VERSIONS => 1, i will reduce data to 1/3 remaining again? Thanks for your time. Sincerely, -- Davey Yan
