I have small question, is there any method to get region numberOfRequests, master server have server.getLoad().getNumberOfRequests() but i cannot find any similar to region?

I wonder if this an effect of our deploying splits to same server as
split parent?  Once the phenomeon goes into effect, we'll not break it
that I can see (on restart, we try our best in 0.90.0 to redeploy
regions to where they were running pre-shutdown so we don't lose
locality).

I would like to round robin and scatter all tables across all
region servers. Basically the distribution is not round-robin enough.
Manually moving it is not going to help me. Frankly this goes against the
concept of bigger/less regions. Given what I am seeing without an
alternative I will reduce the max size of the regions and once I get into
the 100s of regions per region server this problem will be resolved. Less
regions is dangerous in terms of avoiding hot spots.

Is there a way to turn off the memory across restarts of where a region
lives? This might help re-balance from scratch.

1226     // Determine what type of assignment to do on startup
1227     boolean retainAssignment = master.getConfiguration().
1228       getBoolean("hbase.master.startup.retainassign", true);

It looks like you could set the above flag in your hbase-site.xml to
false and that should do it (its on by default).

You could knock a few of your regionservers out of the cluster.  Wait
till regions assigned elsewhere, then bring them back up again.  Force
running of assignment.  That might mess stuff up enough?
