> Rebalancing in FULL_AUTO mode will relentlessly (though mostly greedily) seek a balance in both partitions and states across nodes with minimal movement. However, in this pursuit, we may end up requiring multiple transitions to get a node in the right state for a given partition.
> We can fix this by refusing to prefer nodes as they come up, and then revert to the existing strategy once their current state contains a replica.
