Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-2012:
-------------------------------------------

In Balancer.initNodes(.) there is logic that classifies nodes 4 groups:
# underUtilied, whose utilization is less than avgUtilization - threshold
# utilized below average, whose utilization is < avgUtilization, but >= 
(avgUtilization-threshold)
# utilized above average, whose utilization is > avgUtilization, but <= 
(avgUtilization+threshold)
# overUtilied, whose utilization is > avgUtilization + threshold

The problem here is that if the node's utilization exactly = avgUtilization, 
then it does not belong to any of the four groups and the assert kicks in.
The fix is to include such node to group 2 or 3. I'd prefer 3.
