-------------------------------
+1 on the patch.
I wonder if we can disable load balancer when RegionSplitter runs.

> When running RegionSplitter, our app devs noticed that they were getting a
> lot of NSREs. This is caused by 2 factors:
> 1. the split itself will cause an NSRE
> 2. any load balancing will cause one.
> The former cannot be helped. We can more tightly control load balancing
> though. Instead of doing a name-sorted round-robin split across RS in the
> tier, we could sorted the RS by region count. That way, we only split an RS
> with 10 regions after there are no more RS with 9 regions. This will prevent
> the load balancing slop from kicking in and will fix the problem where
> restarting RegionSplitter always starts splitting at RS #1.
