Hi, I recently came across this good thread about 1 vs. N ColumnFamilies, the max recommended number of CFs, dense vs. sparse structure, etc. -- http://search-hadoop.com/m/TozMw1jqh262
This thread is from 2013. Even though people say HBase should handle more than 3 CFs, the docs still recommend to stick to 2-3 CFs. Is that still the case? See http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#number.of.cfs Also, the thread talks about lumpy CFs and the fact that all CFs would have to be flushed whenever any one of them triggers compaction..... but I remember something being changed in this space a while back. No? Thanks, Otis -- Monitoring * Alerting * Anomaly Detection * Centralized Log Management Solr & Elasticsearch Support * http://sematext.com/
