Hello- Sometime back I asked a question about introducing new nodes w/ more storage that existing nodes. I was told at the time that HBase will not be able to utilize the additional storage; I assumed at the time that regions are allocated to nodes in something like a round-robin fashion and the node with the least storage sets the limit for how much each node can utilize.
My question this time around has to do with nodes w/ unequal numbers of volumes: Does HBase allocate regions based on nodes or volumes on the nodes? I am hoping I can add a node with 8 volumes totaling 8X TB and all the volumes will be filled. This even though legacy nodes have 5 volumes and total storage of 5X TB. Fact or fantasy? Thanks, Ted
