Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-862:
--------------------------------------
Let me take a look at this one if nobody else is working on it. Will
incorporate stack and Billy's thoughts into more sophisticated strategy that
balances balancing against regionserver load and region availability
considerations, ready for 0.2.2. We'll be deploying 10 additional nodes into a
running 15 node cluster with 1000s of regions running a continuous cycle of
TableMap/TableReduce tasks so there will be ample opportunity for testing.

> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: stack
>
> Daniel Leffel has an install of 500 regions on 4 nodes. He's running 0.2.0.
> On restart, load balancing is running while the 600 regions are being
> initially opened. Makes for churn. Load balancing should wait before it
> cuts in.
> Have also seen on occasion that it will not find equilibrium after a restart.
> Adding a node is catastrophic. >20% of the regions were closed and were
> taking the longest time to show up on the new server. I would think that the
> region balancing would work in more sophisticated and gradual manner.
