> With our cluster is big, i can see the balancer is slow from time to time. And the balancer will be called on master startup, so we can see the startup is slow also. 
> The first thing i think whether if we can parallel compute different region's HDFSBlocksDistribution. 
> The second i think we can improve compute single region's HDFSBlocksDistribution.
> When to compute a storefile's HDFSBlocksDistribution first we call FileSystem#getFileStatus(path) and then FileSystem#getFileBlockLocations(status, start, length), so two namenode rpc call for every storefile. Instead we can use FileSystem#listLocatedStatus to get a LocatedFileStatus for the information we need, so reduce the namenode rpc call to one. This can speed the computeHDFSBlocksDistribution, but also send out less rpc call to namenode.
