Ted Yu commented on HBASE-14309:
--------------------------------
Trying out on cluster, I got:
{code}
hbase(main):001:0> balancer
ERROR: undefined method `length' for nil:NilClass
Here is some help for this command:
{code}
Tried various ways according to google search which didn't work.
If I cannot figure out how to keep balancer command backward compatible, I plan
to introduce a new command.
> Allow load balancer to operate when there is region in transition by adding
> force flag
