Chapter 8. HBase Performance Tuning

In this chapter, we will discuss various options to improve the performance of HBase even if the data is continuously growing in size in an exponential way.

We will also discuss the components that can be reconfigured to optimize the throughput both from hardware and software perspectives. In doing so, we will discuss the following recipes in detail. It's of utmost importance to know what the load patterns are, what CPU-intensive footprints are, which of them are IO intensive, and which systems will bring network chattiness in the infrastructure; and plan it in advance.

  • Working with the Java virtual machine
  • Changing the configurations of components
  • Working with HDFS ...
