Ted Yu commented on HBASE-3945:
-------------------------------
Without new parameter, we can keep any region on its region server for at least
two cycles of balancing.
This somehow relates hbase.balancer.period with the expected duration of
compaction(s).
Or maybe I misinterpreted Stack's comment.
> Load balancer shouldn't move the same region in two consective balancing
> actions
