Hi thanks for your reply but I guess You missed my inital asked question. I got my information from here: http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#arch.regions.size In general, HBase is designed to run with a small (20-200) number of relatively large (5-20Gb) regions per server. The considerations for this are as follows:
So our assumption is to have 100 regions/RS (to not be on the limit) with 20GB region size. this results into having 100*20=2000GB available for each RS. I assume that this is the maximum amount of data a RS can handle in a performant way. Do you agree?
As this limit is very low, with respect to the amount of disk space we have available on our server, we want to install further RS on the same machine, in order to overcome this limit and use more of our disk space.
