Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-12890: ---------------------------------------- This has to be a balancer implementation detail. If the balancer in use is not having support, will be best to extend it and use the new one. > Provide a way to throttle the number of regions moved by the balancer > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-12890 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12890 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.98.10 > Reporter: churro morales > Assignee: churro morales > Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.3.0, 0.98.15 > > Attachments: HBASE-12890.patch > > > We have a very large cluster and we frequently add remove quite a few > regionservers from our cluster. Whenever we do this the balancer moves > thousands of regions at once. Instead we provide a configuration parameter: > hbase.balancer.max.regions. This limits the number of regions that are > balanced per iteration. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
