Hi folks, We're looking into some new hardware for a Hbase cluster. After some research, some questions came into mind regarding the specs and heap allocation:
1. There seems to be a dearth of articles in what hardware most people use for their master servers. So, is there a recommended spec for the Master servers? 2. After some research, it seems that the normal for Region servers are lots of RAM (24GB+), 12 spindle setups, and 2 x 6 cores. However, I recall reading some articles warning against the allocation of more then 16GB to Regions. Is this warning still valid, or do workarounds exist? 3. Finally, is there an article on the recommended heap allocation for each processes? Thanks, Young Kim
