Yes, it's expected. The rebalancing tool does not balance leadership. In fact, it tries to avoid relocating leader replicas because the tool wants to minimize the disturbance to the cluster. It will relocate leader replicas if it has to, but it won't make any attempt to balance them.
You can use 'kudu tablet leader_step_down' to force the leader replica of a tablet to step down. A new leader will be elected after the election timeout passes. It's not guaranteed that the old leader won't be reelected. -Will On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 4:11 AM Дмитрий Павлов <dm.pav...@inbox.ru> wrote: > > Hi guys > > I have a question about Kudu rebalancing tool (*kudu cluster rebalance*). > > So my situation is following: > > When our kudu cluster has been updated to version 1.8.0 i ran *kudu > cluster rebalance *for one table. > After that i checked per-table replica distribution and it looks fine but > leaders distributions per nodes still not good for my table > > Is it expected behaviour for rebalancing tool? > > Regards, Dmitry Pavlov > > > >
