Xiao Chen commented on HDFS-9804:
---------------------------------
Thanks again Zhe.
bq. The reported failures are unrelated to Balancer.
Yep, I posted a patch to HDFS-9766 on that.
bq. LMK if you think it should go into branch-2 as well.
I think it's Okay to not go into branch-2. If the cluster is super imbalanced,
the balancer process may not finish within the TGT max renew time, but I guess
that's a rare case and no one seems to be complaining.
> Allow long-running Balancer to login with keytab
