Clay B. commented on HBASE-13965:
---------------------------------
Hi [~stack] as to the DEFAULT versus STOCHASTIC, you're in favor of collapsing
the metrics provider to be stochastic-centric opposed to pluggable? If so, I'm
a bit concerned as HBASE-6721 proposes a new balancer who's functionality we
appreciate and which would likely need some visibility too.

>
> 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.
