             Summary: a table with unbalanced regions will balance indefinitely 
with the 'org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.DefaultLoadBalancer'
                 Key: HBASE-8432
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8432
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Balancer
    Affects Versions: 0.94.5

            Reporter: Wang Qiang
            Priority: Critical


it happened that a table with unbalanced regions, as follows in my cluster(the 
cluster has 20 regionservers, the table has 12 regions):

with the 'org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.DefaultLoadBalancer', after 5 times 
load-balances, the table are still unbalanced:

from the above logs, we can also find that some regions needn't move, but they 
moved. follow into 
'org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.DefaultLoadBalancer.balanceCluster()', I found 
that 'maxToTake' is error calculated.
