Dave Latham commented on HBASE-19148:
-------------------------------------

Will just mention a few of the configs that we run with where I wonder if the 
default should be reconsidered.  Apologies if some of these have already been 
changed.

 - hbase.master.loadbalance.bytable=true - If running with tables with 
different workloads or profiles, it can be surprising to find a single table 
very unbalanced on the cluster.  Seems like it might be less surprising to keep 
each table independently balanced.  A tricky one I think.
 - hbase.regionserver.fileSplitTimeout=600000 - Painful when the largest region 
splits are the ones that fail, and gets stuck in a cycle where they fail worse.
 - hbase.regionserver.logroll.multiplier=0.5 - With the default of 0.95, 
whenever write load was significant, we saw many log files that had a little 
bit more than 1 HDFS block worth of data.  Seemed a waste.

Don't feel strongly about any of them, but curious to see what other folks are 
thinking.
