Description

My use-case: I have several HBase tables in which entries are pushed constantly(300k entries/5min,6-7Gb/day). I started with tables splitted in 32 regions.
File size is currently set to 1Gb. I'm using this tables to perfom real-time scans via a web app.
Problem: Sometimes,but pretty frequently tables are frozen and I get scanner timeout exception.I found in logs that many splits and compactions are performing and I think this are the cause. If I stop pushing data into tables, are scans are running ok.
Could you provide me some advices to do in order to avoid this problem?
