Xiaoyu Yao updated HDFS-316:
----------------------------
    Attachment: HDFS-316.0.patch

Add a parameter {code} -maxIdleIteration {code} to allow specifying # of idle 
iterations to run before balancer exit. Allow negative value such as {code} 
-maxIdleIteration -1 {code} to put the balancer in a daemon mode which runs 
infinitely. 

> 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.
