Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-2998:
----------------------------------------
[~ecn] and I had an offline discussion about this issue. A few points that I
think are interesting
* The little test utility I wrote waits for tablets to be evenly spread, but
this makes assumptions about how the pluggable balancer behaves. [~ecn]'s
changes are more general and wait until the pluggable balance has no more work
to do.
* The method waits for the entire system to be balanced. I was thinking it
may be more useful to wait for a particular table to be balanced. However, the
use does not have to use the per table balancer making it tricky to implement
waiting for a particular table to balance.
> provide a mechanism to allow clients to wait for balance

> creating a bunch of splits.
