The title says it all. HBase doesn’t perform to well with lots of regions, and I have a table which is rarely used and contains a lot of data, so I needed to up the region size to 16 GB for only that table.
Here’s how to do it:
hbase(main):002:0> disable 'ia' 0 row(s) in 362.8930 seconds hbase(main):003:0> alter 'ia', {METHOD=>'table_att',MAX_FILESIZE=>'17179869184'} 0 row(s) in 0.0380 seconds hbase(main):005:0> enable 'ia' 0 row(s) in 423.0210 seconds |
