Ted Yu commented on HBASE-3373:
-------------------------------

Hive, for instance, may create new (intermediate) tables for its map/reduce 
jobs.
The add-on I propose would be beneficial for that scenario.

Also, in LoadBalancer.balanceCluster(), line 210:
{code}
      while(numTaken < numToTake && regionidx < regionsToMove.size()) {
        regionsToMove.get(regionidx).setDestination(server.getKey());
        numTaken++;
        regionidx++;
      }
{code}
The above code would offload regions from most loaded server to most 
underloaded server.
It is more desirable to round-robin the regions from loaded server(s) to 
underloaded server(s) so that the new daughter regions don't stay on the same 
server.

> From our experience, cluster can be well balanced and yet, one table's 
> regions may be badly concentrated on few region servers.
> For example, one table has 839 regions (380 regions at time of table 
> creation) out of which 202 are on one server.
> It would be desirable for load balancer to distribute regions for specified 
> tables evenly across the cluster. Each of such tables has number of regions 
> many times the cluster size.
