I believe this statement is incorrect. The new design is more flexible than
the previous one since we can control the number of thread per datanode pair.
BTW, using the default configuration may not give us performance since we want
the balancing activities not affecting the normal cluster activities and the
running jobs.
> ... which cannot be worked around with config tweaks. ...
What are the config used exactly?
> Allow Balancer to run faster

> The original design of Balancer is intentionally to make it run slowly so
> that the balancing activities won't affect the normal cluster activities and
> the running jobs.
> There are new use case that cluster admin may choose to balance the cluster
> when the cluster load is low, or in a maintain window. So that we should
> have an option to allow Balancer to run faster.
