> We recently had a cluster get into a bad state where a subset of region servers consistently could not open new regions (but could continue serving the regions they already hosted).
> Recovering the cluster was just a matter of restarting region servers in sequence. However, this led to things getting substantially worse before they got better since the bulk assigner continued to place an uniform number of recovered regions across all servers, including onto those that could not open regions.
> It would be useful if the balancer could penalize regionservers with a backlog of pending_open regions and place more work on those regionservers that are properly serving.
