Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-4374:
-------------------------------------------

bq. In old days there used to be an optimal balance to be struck between flush size, compaction size and region split size. 

IMO something that radically screws this up is compression. I've been experimenting with 2GB memstore flush size on a LZO'd table and saw radically better write performance.

I think it would be good that we bring the flush size up as we bring up the split size, since this means less regions per RS leaving room for bigger and more efficient Memstores.

> HBASE-4365 has some discussion of why we default for a table should tend to fewer bigger regions.  It doesn't look like this issue will be done for 0.92.  For 0.92, lets up default region size from 256M to 1G and talk up pre-split on table creation in manual.
