Xiaoyu Yao commented on HDFS-316:
---------------------------------
The patch v3 does not cover the documentation of the new "-maxidliteration"
parameter.
[~aw], let me know if we should include it in this JIRA or open a separate one
for it.
> Balancer should run for a configurable # of iterations

> The balancer currently exits if nothing has changed after 5 iterations.
> Our site would like to constantly balance a stream of incoming data; we would
> like to be able to set the number of iterations it "does nothing" for before
> exiting; even better would be if we set it to a negative number and could
> continuously run this as a daemon.
