Hey Billy:
The region assignment algorithim is kinda basic. For sure needs work
but it works good enough for the time being. I'd say your bad
distribution has to do w/ the low number of regionservers. Try putting
a regionserver on your master machine and see how the distribution is then.

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.
