stack commented on HBASE-57:
----------------------------

This thread, http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.hadoop.hbase.user/9366, 
has another description of what needs fixing here.

Is there a call you can make to the NN that will give you metadata on a file -- 
the blocks it comprises of and where they are located?

Chatting w/ a possible GSOC candidate about doing this one.

> Currently, regions are assigned regionservers based off a basic loading 
> attribute.  A factor to include in the assignment calcuation is the location 
> of the region in hdfs; i.e. servers hosting region replicas.  If the cluster 
> is such that regionservers are being run on the same nodes as those running 
> hdfs, then ideally the regionserver for a particular region should be running 
> on the same server as hosts a region replica.
