> The region load balancer is exacting. Here's the logic:
> {code}
> if (avgLoad > 2.0 && thisServersLoad.getNumberOfRegions() > avgLoad) {
> if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
> LOG.debug("Server " + serverName + " is overloaded. Server load:
> " +
> thisServersLoad.getNumberOfRegions() + " avg: " + avgLoad);
> }
> ...
> {code}
> On a cluster of thousands of regions, especially around startup or if there's
> been a crash, the above makes for a bunch of churn as load balancer closes
> and opens nodes to achieve an exact balance (all nodes must be <= to average).
> I'd suggest that nodes should be left alone if they are within some
> percentage of the average -- say 10% (should be configurable).
