Running indexer on different box than region server

[Pankil]

Hi,

For our usecase, we are planning to run indexer daemon on a different box than region server boxes. Is anyone doing something similar. My understanding is it recommended to run hbase-indexer on the same box as region server for reasons like data locality, decrease network transfer,etc

Can anyone think of any concerns?

Hi Pankil,

This should work fine.

The locality you get by running hbase-indexer on the same box as a
region server is actually pretty limited anyhow (assuming you have
multiple region servers), because there is no guarantee that a region
server will send its updates to the indexer process that is running on
the same box.
