Suthan Phillips updated HBASE-22349:
------------------------------------
    Affects Version/s: 1.4.4
           Attachment: Hbase-22349.pdf
          Description: 
In EMR cluster, whenever I replace one of the nodes, the regions never get 
rebalanced.

The default minCostNeedBalance set to 0.05 is too high.

The region count on the servers were: 21, 21, 20, 20, 20, 20, 21, 20, 20, 20 = 
203

Once a node(region server) got replaced with a new node (terminated and EMR 
recreated a node), the region count on the servers became: 23, 0, 23, 22, 22, 
22, 22, 23, 23, 23 = 203

>From hbase-master-logs, I can see the below WARN which indicates that the 
>default minCostNeedBalance does not hold good for these scenarios.

balancer.StochasticLoadBalancer: Skipping load balancing because balanced 
cluster; total cost is 52.041826194833405, sum multiplier is 1102.0 min cost 
which need balance is 0.05

##

To mitigate this, I had to modify the default minCostNeedBalance to lower value 
like 0.01f and restart Region Servers and Hbase Master. After modifying this 
value to 0.01f I could see the regions getting re-balanced.

This has led me to the following questions which I would like to get it 
answered from the HBase experts.

1)What are the factors that affect the value of total cost and sum multiplier? 
How could we determine the right minCostNeedBalance value for any cluster?

2)How did Hbase arrive at setting the default value to 0.05f? Is it optimal 
value? If yes, then what is the recommended way to mitigate this scenario? 

Attached: Steps to reproduce

 

Note: HBase-17565 patch is already applied.
