Folks -- we have a timeseries-based table we recently converted to a salted key schema [1] in order to avoid region hotspotting. The rowkey format is:
salt-timestamp-sessionid-eventtype, where: salt has the form 00..13, and the timestamp is a Unix timestamp (epoch based). With the version 0.10.0 HBaseStorage, what's the recommended way to LOAD a salted schema from Pig? Initially, I thought we'd just fire off multiple LOADs, one for each region (in our case, up to 14), but we're hitting frequently ScannerTimeoutExceptions with this approach, even on a sample script that does nothing but LOADs. Is there a better way? Thanks, Norbert [1] http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449396107/advanced.html#ch09_id2336987
