> Admin API to do complete redistribute of favored nodes

> Key: HBASE-18065
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18065
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Thiruvel Thirumoolan
> Priority: Major
>
> The complete redistribute command/API creates new favored nodes for existing
> tables. This command is very invasive and disturbs both region assignment and
> data locality. All the regions get new set of favored nodes and are moved to
> the primary favored node. The favored nodes are generated in round robin
> fashion to ensure they are distributed evenly throughout the cluster. This
> command should only be used as a last resort when favored nodes should be
> regenerated and loss of locality is acceptable.
