[Hadoop Wiki] Trivial Update of "PerformanceTuning" by stack

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Hadoop Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by stack:

   * Make sure that the command {{{java}}} implies {{{-server}}} on your machines, or else you will have to explicitly enable it.
+  * Are you swapping?  JVMs hate swapping.  Adjusting [http://www.sollers.ca/blog/2008/swappiness/ swappiness] may help.
+  * By default, each regionserver puts up 10 listeners only.  Up it if you have measurable traffic (See hbase.regionserver.handler.count in hbase-default.xml).
