[jira] Commented: (HBASE-1676) load balancing on a large cluster doesn't work very well

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1676?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12733379#action_12733379 ] 

stack commented on HBASE-1676:
------------------------------

Lets move the assignment code to its own class to facilitate testing alogrithm in isolation.   Then write one million unit tests for it.

> I have 200 regions per server in my cluster.  When I take one down, then bring it back up, I only end up with about 30 regions assigned to it.  This is highly reproducible.
> Furthermore, the assignment algorithm will do silly things like assign all regions of a table to one regionserver - even if it's the best server.  We need to be smarter about optimizing how regions are assigned if we want to achieve maximal performance on our clusters.
