[HELIX-631] Fix AutoRebalanceStrategy replica not assigned In our current AutoRebalanceStrategy, Helix uses greedy algorithm to assign replicas. With the constraint that two replicas from same partition should not assigned to same node and nodes' capacity calculated by evenly distributed. Thus there may some replicas are not assigned. With this fix, Helix will try to force assign the orphaned replicas to the node with minimum overload. This may cause imbalanced assignment.
