So really what I'm asking for is for the Stochastic Balancer to include the
hint writes like the FavoredNodeBalancer.

Could you please tell us the details of your idea?

> Key: HBASE-21014
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21014
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Balancer
> Affects Versions: 1.1.2
> Reporter: Hari Sekhon
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
