Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-3681:
-------------------------------------------
Some comments:
- I think the ifs in the new constructor aren't written consistently with the
rest of the code. Usually we either do brackets or one-line ifs and this is
neither.
- I wouldn't reuse the min/max since they don't have the same meaning.
- The comment "so that behavior is consistent with that of 0.90.1." is true
but I don't think it belongs in there, since it will go stale very fast. Just
saying that here is enough IMO.
- I think for 0.92 we could set the slop to something like 0.1 or 0.2, but
keep it at 0 for 0.90.1. Regarding that, Stack moved this issue to 0.92 but he
agreed we can move it back into 0.90.2 since 1) we need it at SU and 2) it's
going to be disabled by default.

> Per our discussion at the hackathon today, it seems that it would be more
> helpful to add a sloppiness check before doing the normal balancing.
> The current situation is that the balancer always tries to get the region
> load even, meaning that there can be some very frequent regions movement.
> Setting the balancer to run less often (like every 4 hours) isn't much better
> since the load could get out of whack easily.
> This is why running the normal balancer frequently, but first checking for
> some sloppiness in the region load across the RS, seems like a more viable
> option.
