title: Hbase One Store = Column Family?
body: <p>Everyone, </p>
  
  <p>I am wondering if anyone can give a quick-and-dirty answer if one column family in a Hbase table could have more than one store. </p>
  
  <p>I have read many articles and it sounds like Region is containing multiple stores and each store corresponds to one column family. </p>
  
  <p>What would happen if a store gets over the 10GB default size and gets split into multiple stores ? In this case, a column family could have multiple stores?</p>
  
  <p>I am confused... </p>
