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? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
