-------------------------------------
that would be great.
> Allow skipping HDFS block distribution computation

> Key: HBASE-21672
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21672
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Nihal Jain
> Assignee: Nihal Jain
> Priority: Major
> Labels: S3
>
> We should have a configuration to skip HDFS block distribution calculation in
> HBase. For example on file systems that do not surface locality such as S3,
> calculating block distribution would not be any useful.
> Currentlly, we do not have a way to skip hdfs block distribution computation.
> For this, we can provide a new configuration key, say
> {{hbase.block.distribution.skip.computation}} (which would be {{false}} by
> default).
> Users using filesystems such as s3 may choose to make this {{true}}, thus
> skipping block distribution computation.
