Josh Elser commented on HBASE-13222:
------------------------------------
Thoughts/opinions on whether inquiry into the balancer's state should extend
beyond a simple on/off? I'm trying to think of whether a new RPC should be a
simple "IsBalancerEnabled" or a more flexible "BalancerState" would be better
in the long run.
It's hard to judge what common information across a general interface
({{LoadBalancer}}) might want to return. Not sure if it's worth to make a more
general response msg.

> At least on 0.98 (haven't checked master, 1.0), it seems we don't have a
> means for accessing balancer status w.o changing it in the process. Here's a
> little script to tickle ZK and see what the flag is. Would be nice if this
> was available from the shell, on the master status page, or something similar.
