PS1, Line 7: Add global leader awareness to auto leader rebalancer (Part 2)
Thanks for working on this!

I have a couple of questions regarding auto leader re-balancer:
1. With all the patches including KUDU-3767, KUDU-3497 and KUDU-3390, is it 
possible that we can have an uneven distribution of leader replicas per table 
and an even distribution of leader replicas for the whole cluster?

As an example, in a 1 master x 3 tservers and 10 tables (RF=3) setup, table1 
has 9 tablets and tserver1 is hosting 7 leader replicas, tserver2 is hosting 2 
leader replicas and tserver3 is hosting no leader replica for table1. However, 
overall leader replica distribution is even across all three tservers.

2. If answer to above question is yes, is there a way to prioritize even 
distribution of leader replicas for a specific table even if that means 
imbalance in global leader replica distribution? I am asking this because there 
could be a use case where a few tables cater to more workload compared to the 
rest of the tables. In such a scenario, if globally even distribution of leader 
replicas is achieved but there is an uneven distribution of leader replicas for 
those specific tables, the tablet servers hosting more leader replicas for 
those tables would end up with more resource utilization.

3. With only the patches from KUDU-3497 and KUDU-3390, is table specific leader 
replica distribution possible, even at the cost of global imbalance of leader 
replicas?
