title: Region splitting in Hbase
body: <p>How many regions can be served by one region server? Basically i got a hadoop job which is doing bulk load in hbase but looking at hbase master UI , i could see that whole data traffic is moving to single region server.Because of which single region server is getting overloaded and others are ideal. I wanted to distributed these regions across region server to keep my cluster balanced. </p>
  
  <p>I am not too sure but I am assuming that there should be some configuration for defining number of regions per regions server. Correct me if I am wrong here.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I am using default Auto Split policy for my hbase tables.</p>
  
  <p>Let me know how do i determine this or any other way to handle region distributions?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
