Billy Pearson commented on HADOOP-2138:
---------------------------------------

>From what I understand about writing files to data nodes I do not thank is is 
>a major problem. If the regions are not located on the host serving server on 
>the first compaction they would be stored local first and stay local from 
>there on out unless the current servers hard drive is full and it has to store 
>it on a different server. Over all the region servers would self fix this 
>problem by default over time.

So only time this would be an issue is on a restart or after a failed region 
server.

> [hbase] Master should allocate regions to the regionserver hosting the region 
> data where possible

> Currently, regions are assigned regionservers based off a basic loading 
> attribute.  A factor to include in the assignment calcuation is the location 
> of the region in hdfs; i.e. servers hosting region replicas.  If the cluster 
> is such that regionservers are being run on the same nodes as those running 
> hdfs, then ideally the regionserver for a particular region should be running 
> on the same server as hosts a region replica.
