Summary: Admin API to do complete redistribute of favored nodes
Key: HBASE-18065
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18065
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Thiruvel Thirumoolan
Assignee: Thiruvel Thirumoolan
The complete redistribute command/API creates new favored nodes for existing
tables. This command is very invasive and disturbs both region assignment and
data locality. All the regions get new set of favored nodes and are moved to
the primary favored node. The favored nodes are generated in round robin
fashion to ensure they are distributed evenly throughout the cluster. This
command should only be used as a last resort when favored nodes should be
regenerated and loss of locality is acceptable.
