------------------------------------------------
Checked in other branches (branch -1.x). There we have a bulk Assigner in AM.
So all the regions to be created while doing CreateTable are collected and
passed to the balancer along with the available servers. So we get a plan that
is truly distributing the replicas. We don't have similar way in trunk as every
AssignProcedure is individual and it just adds to the 'pendingAssignQueue' one
by one.

> Trying out region replica and its assignment I can see that some times the
> default LB Stocahstic load balancer assigns replica regions to the same RS.
> This happens when we have 3 RS checked in and we have a table with 3
> replicas. When a RS goes down then the replicas being assigned to same RS is
> acceptable but the case when we have enough RS to assign this behaviour is
> undesirable and does not solve the purpose of replicas.
