    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22108?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16802154#comment-16802154 ] 

kevin su commented on HBASE-22108:
----------------------------------

maybe we could add moveRandom(byte[] encodedRegionName) method in Admin
btw, there is split(TableName tableName) method, user don't need to pass null.

> For some methods we must pass null if we want specific behaviors, for example, move region to a random server, split region without providing an explicit split point, etc.
> We should provide methods without some parameters so user do not need to pass null.
> So in the future users do not need to guess whether a method accept null parameters, the answer is always no.
