Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-10127: --------------------------------------- What I meant is that maybe we don't need this in 0.94 either -> either the balancer already balances by table, or this command is a no-op anyway Only if there is a specific issue with the balancer not doing the right thing should either fix the specific problem or have this as a crutch. > 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)
