> Investigate using sliding window for read/write request costs in

> Key: HBASE-17462
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17462
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ted Yu
>
> In the thread, http://search-hadoop.com/m/HBase/YGbbyUZKXWALkX1, Timothy was
> asking whether the read/write request costs in StochasticLoadBalancer should
> be calculated as rates.
> This makes sense since read / write load on region server tends to fluctuate
> over time. Using sliding window would reflect more recent trend in read /
> write load.
> Some factors to consider:
> The data structure used by StochasticLoadBalancer should be concise. The
> number of regions in a cluster can be expected to approach 1 million. We
> cannot afford to store long history of read / write requests in master.
> Efficiency of cost calculation should be high - there're many cost
> functions the balancer goes through, it is expected for each cost function
> to return quickly. Otherwise we would not come up with proper region
> movement plan(s) in time.
