Hello Mahadev,
Thanks for the tip on GC parameters. I will try this.
I have increased the HBase default 10 second session
timeout to 60 seconds, but will try the GC config
suggested here and begin reducing the timeout to
smaller values to determine its effect on the issues
I have been encountering.
Thanks again,
- Andy
