Is there any reason why running an HDFS balancer on the filesystem
used for HBase would be considered bad practice? Doesn't seem so to me
at face value but I wanted to be sure it seemed sane before enabling
it.
Thanks,

It would move blocks that are used by the local region servers,
messing up your block locality. That the first reason I can think of.

Should be fine. Don't run it at a high rate or the network traffic
will drag on your hbase serving.

We're only at about .4 network capacity during peak load so I don't
think we'll cause network issues. Disk I/O may be another story but
network will be fine I suspect.
