stack resolved HBASE-21324.
---------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Resolving as not a problem. The balancer needs to be configured appropriately
to run against a big cluster. Upping timeouts and max steps as well as downing
per region steps got the balancer to make progress. That this config should be
dynamic not requiring a restart and that the logging on balancer gives little
indication that reconfig is needed are other issues.

> Components: Balancer
> Reporter: stack
> Assignee: stack
> Priority: Major
>
> When there a few regions, the balancer seems to do a poorish job. My cluster
> is all out of whack and while the balancer runs, it doesn't do anything. So,
> I need to configure the balancer to run against large number of regions.
> There is no doc in reguide to help and there is no logging coming out of the
> balancer to help either. Let me fix.
