[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-13964) Region normalization for tables under namespace quote

["Mikhail Antonov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13964?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14599988#comment-14599988 ] 

Mikhail Antonov commented on HBASE-13964:
-----------------------------------------

Currently, all tables aren't normalized unless explicitly opted in, so to avoid normalization of such tables it'd be enough to add a note in user/administration guide? Or would you propose to add an additional guard for that?

Thinking more, intuitively it would look more natural to me if we had quotes based on some storage-level metrics, like total region size in bytes on HDFS, rather than disabling normalization on tables which are under namespace quota. Quotes are supposed to restrict and control allocation of environment resources, whereas region layout is more of internal thing which is supposed to be optimizable by HBase itself.

Thoughts?

(btw should we create component for normalization or should it stay under balancer?)

> As [~tedyu@apache.org] pointed out in HBASE-13103, we need to discuss how to normalize regions of tables under namespace control. What was proposed is to disable normalization of such tables.
