----------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing this on our cluster now. Master starts up in safe mode. All HRS start up
and check in. Then initial assignments start. Assignment is lumpy -- average
load should be e.g. 40, some HRS get e.g. 80 initial assignments. They report
as overloaded, so then regions are closed and moved almost as soon as they are
opened. Compaction/split load is increased unnecessarily.
Also seeing asserts about illegal state transitions from the Master.
All regions do come up assigned and HRS are evenly loaded after a while, unless
compaction/split load overwhelms DFS. Then usually there are a few regions that
did not deploy correctly that have to be manually (re)deployed with
close_region from the shell.

> region balancing is clumsy

> Key: HBASE-862
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-862
> 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.
