I have a small setup I am running this on its 3 servers a master and namenode and the other 2 are datanodes and region servers.
when I restart the services always the regions from one of my tables get put all on one server so I have server 1: Root server 2: META, tablepart1,tablepart2,tablepart3,tablepart4 Vary rare does the table parts get split on to more then one server. Is there some rule that is happening to place these on different server? I thank when starting up master and all region server the tables parts should be placed in round ribbon fashion then as load is applied table parts moved / placed based on load on region servers.
