Biju Nair commented on HBASE-3268:
----------------------------------
Even though the delay in regions getting assigned to a new RS can cause
confusion to a new user, it takes care of outliers like the one mentioned in
earlier comment like adding multiple new RSes . Do we still need this feature
or can it be closed?

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Balancer, master
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Priority: Major
>
> Right now we only balance the cluster once every 5 minutes by default. This
> is likely to confuse new users. When you start a new region server, you
> expect it to pick up some load very quickly, but right now you have to wait 5
> minutes for it to start doing anything in the worst case.
> We could/should also add a button/shell command to "trigger balance now"
