---------------------------------
Good finding Kihwal. +1 on extending the documentation with this effect.
Should we change the default value of 10MB?
> Do not use small blocks for balancing the cluster

> Balancer gets datanode block lists from NN and then move the blocks in order
> to balance the cluster. It should not use the blocks with small size since
> moving the small blocks generates a lot of overhead and the small blocks do
> not help balancing the cluster much.
