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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
