Ted Yu commented on HBASE-3373:
-------------------------------
@Ben:
Thanks for trying out 0.94
The code snippet above deals with region server which recently joined the
cluster. Its goal is to avoid hot region server which receives above average
load.
This is part of the changes from HBASE-3609. The randomization is done on this
line:
{code}
Collections.shuffle(sns, RANDOM);
{code}
where we schedule regions to region servers which are shuffled randomly.
Your observation about unbalanced table(s) in the cluster is valid. This is due
to master not passing per-table region distribution to balanceCluster().
I have a patch which is in internal repository where master calls
balanceCluster() for each table.
Once we test it in production cluster, I should be able to contribute back.

>
> From our experience, cluster can be well balanced and yet, one table's
> regions may be badly concentrated on few region servers.
> For example, one table has 839 regions (380 regions at time of table
> creation) out of which 202 are on one server.
> It would be desirable for load balancer to distribute regions for specified
> tables evenly across the cluster. Each of such tables has number of regions
> many times the cluster size.
