> Stochastic Load Balancer JMX Metrics
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-13965
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13965
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Balancer, metrics
> Reporter: Lei Chen
> Assignee: Lei Chen
>
> Today’s default HBase load balancer (the Stochastic load balancer) is cost
> function based. The cost function weights are tunable but no visibility into
> those cost function results is directly provided.
> A driving example is a cluster we have been tuning which has skewed rack size
> (one rack has half the nodes of the other few racks). We are tuning the
> cluster for uniform response time from all region servers with the ability to
> tolerate a rack failure. Balancing LocalityCost, RegionReplicaRack Cost and
> RegionCountSkew Cost is difficult without a way to attribute each cost
> function’s contribution to overall cost.
> What this jira proposes is to provide visibility via JMX into each cost
> function of the stochastic load balancer, as well as the overall cost of the
> balancing plan.
