Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-3487:
------------------------------------------------

- It is better to use ExecutorService.submit(...) than Executor.execute(...).  
A Future object will be returned by submit(...) and it can be used for waiting 
the task termination.  Then, dispatcherCount is not needed.

- The InterruptedException in dispatchBlockMoves() should not be ignored.  We 
need to shutdown the ExecutorService and terminate the program.

> Balancer should not allocate a thread per block move
