stack commented on HBASE-19148:
-------------------------------

[~davelatham] some questions sir

I think 'hbase.master.loadbalance.bytable=true' makes sense as default on big 
cluster where tables are big, less so on small cluster (i think). Looking at 
the stochastic balancer, it has this in the class comment:

 * <p>This balancer is best used with hbase.master.loadbalance.bytable set to 
false
 * so that the balancer gets the full picture of all loads on the cluster.</p>

Let me add this config to hbase-default so folks see at least it is there.

hbase.regionserver.fileSplitTimeout=30000 in branch-2. This better?

bq. 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.

So, we'd run over the block size because 0.95 doesn't give us enough wiggly 
room within which to close the WAL? We could come down from 0.95. 0.5 seems way 
down. We'd make lots of files -- a pain in itself.  Set it at  0.8?  Should we 
up the default block size?
