> The balancer needs to query for blocks to move from overly full DNs. The
> block lookup is extremely inefficient. An iterator of the node's blocks is
> created from the iterators of its storages' blocks. A random number is
> chosen corresponding to how many blocks will be skipped via the iterator.
> Each skip requires costly scanning of triplets.
> The current design also only considers node imbalances while ignoring
> imbalances within the nodes's storages. A more efficient and intelligent
> design may eliminate the costly skipping of blocks via round-robin selection
> of blocks from the storages based on remaining capacity.
