-------------------------------
Oh. Excellent [~xucang] Thank you for the reminder. I see it here in
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#dyn_config after your prompting.
bq. Also, to overcome above mentioned issue, just need to set
"hbase.master.balancer.stochastic.runMaxSteps" to true.
I should have tried it. It looks weird though. I wonder if it works.

> See parent issue. Running balancer on a cluster where the max steps was way
> inadequate, the balancer gave little to no indication that it was
> ill-configured. In fact, it only logged its starting and then that there was
> nothing to do though the cluster was obviously out-of-whack.
> Ideally the balancer would complain when say the maxSteps limit is a small
> fraction of what the cluster's calculated max steps are, or it would notice
> that the balancer is making little progress on an imbalanced cluster and
> shout. Can we set balancer configs w/o having to restart Master?
