HBase quota management

Two types of HBase quotas are well established: throttle quota and number-of tables-quota. These two quotas can regulate users and tables.

As of version 2.6, HDP has an additional quota type: a filesystem space quota. You can use file-system quotas to regulate the usage of filesystem space on namespaces or at the table level.

In a multitenant HBase environment, ensuring that each tenant can use only its allotted portion of the system is key in meeting SLAs.
