Hello all,

I'm trying to get a new HBase cluster up and running on top of an
existing 5 node Hadoop cluster.

I've basically set it up such that the HBase master is running on the
same machine as the name node, and the region servers are running on
the other 4 machines as slaves.

I'm trying to populate a single table with about 10GB of data via a
map/reduce job, and I'm noticing that the region servers are running
out of memory.

Any pointers on what could be going on here?

Thanks,
Ryan
