hbase split策略

   hbase版本：1.2.4

   当前版本默认的region split策略是

    

<property>
<name>hbase.regionserver.region.split.policy</name>
<value>
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.IncreasingToUpperBoundRegionSplitPolicy
</value>
<source>hbase-default.xml</source>
</property>

    

   当hbase表在regionserver上的region,如果region的大小到达一个阈值，这个region将会分为两个。计算公式为：

   Min{(表在一个regionserver上region的数量的立方) *2（the region memstore flush size),hbase.hregion.max.filesize(默认是10GB）}

   如果默认值情况下，一个表在一个regionserver上split的阈值是256MB(第一次split)，2GB（第二次），6.75GB（第三次），10GB（第四次），10GB... 10GB

  具体可以查看这个类的源码

/**
 * Split size is the number of regions that are on this server that all are
 * of the same table, cubed, times 2x the region flush size OR the maximum
 * region split size, whichever is smaller.
 * <p>
 * For example, if the flush size is 128MB, then after two flushes (256MB) we
 * will split which will make two regions that will split when their size is
 * {@code 2^3 * 128MB*2 = 2048MB}.
 * <p>
 * If one of these regions splits, then there are three regions and now the
 * split size is {@code 3^3 * 128MB*2 = 6912MB}, and so on until we reach the configured
 * maximum file size and then from there on out, we'll use that.

   regionserver的split的一些参数：

<property>
<name>hbase.hregion.max.filesize</name>
<value>10737418240</value><!--10GB -->
</property>


<property>
<name>hbase.regionserver.regionSplitLimit</name>
<value>1000</value>
</property>

   另外需要注意，在一个region分裂为两个的过程中，有可能会报 NotServingRegionException错误。
