Hi Vincent, Versions is set to1 and keep_deleted_cells is false. It's basically the default settings and nothing has been changed.
describe on the hbase table gives below: VERSIONS => '1', MIN_VERSIONS => '0', TTL => 'FOREVER', KEEP_DELETED_CELLS => 'FALSE' Thanks, Abhishek On Tue, Jan 29, 2019 at 3:20 PM Vincent Poon <vincentp...@apache.org> wrote: > is your max_versions set to 1 ? keep_deleted_cells? > > On Tue, Jan 29, 2019 at 10:41 AM talluri abhishek < > abhishektall...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> We are seeing a couple of issues on some of our Phoenix tables where the >> size of the tables keep growing 2-3 times after around 2-3 days of >> ingestion and the read performance takes a big hit after that.
