Clara Xiong updated HBASE-25739:
--------------------------------
Description: TableSkewCostFunction uses the sum of the max deviation region
per server for all tables as the measure of unevenness. It doesn't work in a
very common scenario in operations. Say we have 100 regions on 50 nodes, two on
each. We add 50 new nodes and they have 0 each. The max deviation from the mean
is 1, compared to 99 in the worst case scenario of 100 regions on a single
server. The normalized cost is 1/99 = 0.011 < default threshold of 0.05.
Balancer wouldn't move. The proposal is to use aggregated deviation of the
count per region server to detect this scenario, generating a cost of 3.1/31 =
0.1 in this case. (was: TableSkewCostFunction uses the sum of the max
