-----------------------------

Sorry to reopen this one. I think this is a valid improvement for branch-2.7 and I'm trying to backport it. I'll attach a branch-2.7 patch for Jenkins verification.

> The original design of Balancer is intentionally to make it run slowly so that the balancing activities won't affect the normal cluster activities and the running jobs.
> There are new use case that cluster admin may choose to balance the cluster when the cluster load is low, or in a maintain window.  So that we should have an option to allow Balancer to run faster.
