Or hbase does certain things (to its > advantage) that slows the write path down? Our writes are generally quite fast, I think at the moment some improvements can be made at the client level. I did some tests last year and I could get better throughput with the asynchbase client compared to the normal Java client because the former has call queues per region server. Both tests were using the same region servers, uploading the same data set. J-D
