Mohit Getting the maximum performance out of HBase isn't just about tuning the cluster. There are several other factors to take into account. The two most important being:
1. Most important factor being the schema design 2. How you are using the APIs Starting with the default configs is okay. Are you getting performance or stability issues? If yes, start by knocking those out. -Amandeep PS: I have covered several tuning concepts in HBase In Action and there is plenty information available in the online HBase manual and Lars' book as well. Refer to those if you want to understand more general concepts that are at play.
