Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-11742:
-----------------------------------
bq. do you think this is a blocker for 2.7.4 - it's marked as such?
It caused performance regression for us. The impact depends on the scale and
the nature of imbalance. We would not run the new balancer (now back-ported to
2.7.4) without this.

> We ran 2.8 balancer with HDFS-8818 on a 280-node and a 2,400-node cluster. In
> both cases, it would hang forever after two iterations. The two iterations
> were also moving things at a significantly lower rate. The hang itself is
> fixed by HDFS-11377, but the design limitation remains, so the balancer
> throughput ends up actually lower.
> Instead of reverting HDFS-8188 as originally suggested, I am making a small
> change to make it less error prone and more usable.
