Hello Ted- We are considering added new nodes to existing cluster that have higher storage capacity than current nodes. We hope, but do not know, that HBase would assign more regions to RSs that have more storage capacity.
We are considering 2x storage on new nodes vs current node.

How big is the difference between memory capacity among the old and new servers ?

We made the original nodes of our cluster a bit light on storage and are wondering what would happen is we started adding nodes w/ more storage capacity. Thanks, Ted
