Biju Nair commented on HBASE-10761:
-----------------------------------
Currently
[SLB|https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/baf3ae80f5588ee848176adefc9f56818458a387/hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/master/balancer/StochasticLoadBalancer.java#L275]
has logic to check {{needBalance}} which seems to satisfy this requirement.
Can this be closed?
> StochasticLoadBalancer still uses SimpleLoadBalancer's needBalance logic

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug

>
> StochasticLoadBalancer has become the default balancer since 0.98.0. But its
> balanceCluster method still uses the BaseLoadBalancer.needBalance() which is
> originally designed for SimpleLoadBalancer. It's all based on the number of
> regions on the regionservers.
> This can cause such a problem: when the cluster has some Hot Spot Region, the
> balance process may not be triggered because the numbers of regions on the
> RegionServers are averaged.
