                 Key: HBASE-10109
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10109
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Region Assignment
    Affects Versions: 0.89-fb
            Reporter: Adela Maznikar
            Assignee: Adela Maznikar
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.89-fb


When a new table is created we place the primary locations for the regions in a round robin fashion. Because we do this for every newly created table it is possible that some regionservers end up with more regions than the others and if there are more tables in the cluster the difference between a min and max #regions per RS can be larger. 
One small optimization is to sort the RS in ascending order before assigning them regions.
