------------------------------------

So the idea is to call initialize on the balancer, then call the balance method
for each table? Good idea.
{quote}
Yep, it's a one time call to initialize the balancer. Then master can start
balancing.
{quote}
The same way, should have finalize too, right?
{quote}
Yep, makes sense. Or we could have it extend Stoppable. The load balancer is
essentially already becoming a service.

>
> The load balancer has two methods setMasterServices and setConf that needs to
> be called prior to it being functional. Some balancers will need to go
> through an initialization procedure once these methods have been called. An
> initialize() method would be helpful in this regard.
