That is what my experience is. When we add nodes, the regions get rebalanced across the old and new nodes......

Hey all, We're wanting to add 10 additional nodes to our 20-node HBase cluster. Our tables are pre-split into 800 regions, 40 regions to a machine. What will happen when we add 10 new nodes to the cluster? Will the HBase load balancer automatically re-distribute these regions to the new nodes? If so, will we have 26 regions on some machines and 27 on others? Thanks! --Jeremy
