Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-5101:
---------------------------------------

@Ted
First cut -- simply some configured number of max regions.  Maybe it would stop splitting at a point where it can handle if some number of rs's going down and its regions are reassigned.

There could possibly be a limit on tables as well -- and we could put cap on the # of region servers/table and # of regions/region server.

> In a testing environment, a cluster got to a state with more than 1500 regions per region server, and essentially became stuck and unavailable.  We could add a limit to the number of regions that a region server can serve to prevent this from happening.  This looks like it could be implemented in the core or as a coprocessor.
