The locality picker in the stochastic balancer does not pick regions with > least locality as candidates for swap/move. So when any user configures > locality cost in the configs, the balancer does not always seems to move > regions with bad locality. > 2. When a cluster has equal number of loaded regions, it always picks the > first one. It should pick a random region on one of the equally loaded > servers. This improves a chance of finding a good candidate, when load picker > is invoked several times. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
