Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-10127: --------------------------------------- I feel pretty strongly that trunk shouldn't get this functionality. It's default balancer relies on there being no per table balancer, and in fact I think that it should only be in the old balancer at all. I've been meaning to remove that code in AM. > support balance table > --------------------- > > Key: HBASE-10127 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10127 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: master, shell > Affects Versions: 0.94.14 > Reporter: cuijianwei > Attachments: HBASE-10127-0.94-v1.patch > > > HMaster provides a rpc interface : 'balance()' to balance all the regions > among region servers in the cluster. Sometimes, we might want to balance all > the regions belonging to a table while keeping the region assignments of > other tables. This demand may reveal in a shared cluster where we want to > balance regions for one application's table without affecting other > applications. Therefore, will it be useful if we extend the current > 'balance()' interface to only balance regions of the same table? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
