Also updated all TODOs, and refactored the demo features with test cases.
> Constraint Based Resource Rebalancer
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: HELIX-674
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HELIX-674
> Project: Apache Helix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jiajun Wang
> Assignee: Jiajun Wang
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.8.x
>
>
> Helix rebalancer assigns resources according to different strategies.
> Recently, we optimize the strategy for evenness and minimize movement.
> However, the evenness here only applies to partition numbers. Moreover, we've
> got more requests for customizable rebalancer from our users.
> Take partition weight as an example:
> In reality, partition replicas have different size. We use "partition weight"
> as an abstraction of the partition size. It can be network traffic usage,
> disk usage, or any other combined factors.
> Given each partition may have different weights, Helix should be able to
> assign partition accordingly. So that the distribution would be even
> regarding the weight.
> In this project, we are planning new rebalancer mechanism that generates
> resource partition assignment according to a list of "constraints". Current
> rebalance strategy can be regarded as one kind of constraint. Moving forward,
> Helix users would be able to extend the constraint interface using their own
> logic.
> Some init discussions are in progress and we will have a proposal posted here
> soon.
