-------------------------------------
Summary: region load balancing by table does not handle the case
where a table's region count is less than the number of the RS in the cluter
Key: HBASE-7060
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7060
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: master
Affects Versions: 0.92.0
Reporter: Tianying Chang
Assignee: Tianying Chang
When the table's region count is less than the count of region servers, the
region balance algorithm will not move the region. For example, the cluster has
100 RS, the table has 50 regions sitting on one RS, they will not be moved to
any of the other 99 RS.
This is because the algorithm did not calculate the under-loaded RS correctly.
This is how the algorithm works with the above example:
avg-regions-per-RS=0.5
min-RS-per-RS=0
max-RS-per-RS=1
when they calculate the under loaded RS, the code is as below. Since
regionCount=0, which is always >=min, so it will always skip, therefore, no
underloaded RS are found.
Map<ServerName, Integer> underloadedServers = new HashMap<ServerName,
Integer>();
for (Map.Entry<ServerAndLoad, List<HRegionInfo>> server:
serversByLoad.entrySet()) {
int regionCount = server.getKey().getLoad();
if (regionCount >= min) { break; }
underloadedServers.put(server.getKey().getServerName(), min - regionCount);
}
Later the function returns since underloaded RS size is 0
if (serverUnerloaded ==0) return regionsToReturn;
