[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-6260) balancer state should be stored in ZK

["Jonathan Hsieh (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6260?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13399683#comment-13399683 ] 

Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-6260:
---------------------------------------

While we are at it, we should add a method that only queries and returns the current state of the balancer. (and a new command in the shell). Currently it seems like we have to toggle it to the old value and then toggle it back which is annoying and potentially race prone.

> In short, we need to move the balancer state to ZK so that it won't have to be restarted if the master dies.
