Hari Sekhon updated HBASE-21014:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Improve Stochastic Balancer to include the HDFS region location hints to avoid 
HDFS Balancer destroying data locality.

Right now according to a mix of docs, jiras and mailing list info it appears 
that one must change
{code:java}
hbase.master.loadbalancer.class{code}
to the org.apache.hadoop.hbase.favored.FavoredNodeLoadBalancer as it looks like 
this functionality is only within FavoredNodeBalancer and not the standard 
Stochastic Balancer.

[http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_hbase_and_hdfs]

This is not ideal because we'd still like to use all the heuristics and work 
that has gone in the Stochastic Balancer which I believe right now is the best 
and most mature HBase balancer.

See also the linked Jiras and this discussion:
