>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Balancer
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.2

> The default value of {{hbase.regions.slop}} is {{0.001}} in {{StochasticLoadBalancer}} (which is the default setting of  {{hbase.master.loadbalancer.class}}). 
> However, in the docs (both {{hbase-default.xml}} and [online docs|http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#config.files]), the default value is {{0.2}}. This value is specified in {{BaseLoadBalancer}} (which is an abstract class) and is inherited by {{SimpleLoadBalancer}}. However, as {{SimpleLoadBalancer}} is no longer used as the default load balancer, the doc is obsolete.  
> The code structure is:
> {code:title=BaseLoadBalancer.java|borderStyle=solid}
>  public abstract class BaseLoadBalancer implements LoadBalancer {
>    ...
>    protected void setSlop(Configuration conf) {
>      this.slop = conf.getFloat("hbase.regions.slop", (float) 0.2);
>    }
> {code}
> {code:title=StochasticLoadBalancer.java|borderStyle=solid}
>  public class StochasticLoadBalancer extends BaseLoadBalancer {
>    ...
>    @Override
>    protected void setSlop(Configuration conf) {
>      this.slop = conf.getFloat("hbase.regions.slop", 0.001F);
>    }
> {code}
> I suggest to make the manual entry of {{hbase.regions.slop}} specify the different default values in different balancer classes.
