[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7297) Allow load balancer to accommodate different region server configurations

["Lars Hofhansl (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7297?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13527035#comment-13527035 ] 

Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7297:
--------------------------------------

One could imagine a pluggable heuristic function that ways CPU core, heap, disk drives, etc, and provides a "capacity value".

> Robert Dyer raised the following scenario under the thread of 'Multiple regionservers on a single node':
> {quote}
> I have a very small cluster where all nodes are identical.  However, I was
> just given a very powerful node to add into this cluster which effectively
> doubles the total CPUs, RAM, and HDDs in the cluster.
> As such, when I run a MR job half the jobs go to this single, new node yet
> most of the data is not local due to HBase balancing the regions.
> {quote}
> Load balancer should take region server config (total heap in the above case) into account when allocating regions.
