Since we started using the HBase bucket cache I've noticed the region server status pages not loading completely in Chrome, and causing significant performance problems on Firefox. After some investigation I realized the page itself is huge:
wc -l HBase-Region-Server-hb22.html 2010116 HBase-Region-Server-hb22.html ls -lah HBase-Region-Server-hb22.html 32M Oct 6 19:23 HBase-Region-Server-hb22.html Firefox "about:memory": ? ???1,330.18 MB (48.22%) -- top(http://hb9.prod1.connexity.net:60030/rs-status#bc_l2, id=2010) ? ? ???1,329.61 MB (48.20%) -- active/window(http://hb9.prod1.connexity.net:60030/rs-status#bc_l2) It looks like it's loading a thing for each bucket, though it's not displayed unless you click L2, which usually just hangs the browser, on success you get a very very long list of all the buckets, their size and occupancy, which seems of limited use to me. Is there a way to stop the regionserver from sending this info for each page load? (If having a few hundred thousand buckets is completely wrong don't worry, I'll be asking about that too soon).
