----------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I was thinking about it but the problem is that code(dump slowlogs) stays
with RegionServer, this one is for HMaster.
I am wondering if we can make generic framework, sort of, where we can extend
some abstract layer, but how we solve using workflow in HMaster vs RegionServer
is where I am stuck currently.

> Improve balancer decision observability
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-24528
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24528
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Admin, Balancer, Operability, shell, UI
> Reporter: Andrew Kyle Purtell
> Priority: Major
>
> We provide detailed INFO and DEBUG level logging of balancer decision
> factors, outcome, and reassignment planning, as well as similarly detailed
> logging of the resulting assignment manager activity. However, an operator
> may need to perform online and interactive observation, debugging, or
> performance analysis of current balancer activity. Scraping and correlating
> the many log lines resulting from a balancer execution is labor intensive and
> has a lot of latency (order of ~minutes to acquire and index, order of
> ~minutes to correlate).
> The balancer should maintain a rolling window of history, e.g. the last 100
> region move plans, or last 1000 region move plans submitted to the assignment
> manager. This history should include decision factor details and weights and
> costs. The rsgroups balancer may be able to provide fairly simple decision
> factors, like for example "this table was reassigned to that regionserver
> group". The underlying or vanilla stochastic balancer on the other hand,
> after a walk over random assignment plans, will have considered a number of
> cost functions with various inputs (locality, load, etc.) and multipliers,
> including custom cost functions. We can devise an extensible class structure
> that represents explanations for balancer decisions, and for each region move
> plan that is actually submitted to the assignment manager, we can keep the
> explanations of all relevant decision factors alongside the other details of
> the assignment plan like the region name, and the source and destination
> regionservers.
> This history should be available via API for use by new shell commands and
> admin UI widgets.
> The new shell commands and UI widgets can unpack the representation of
> balancer decision components into human readable output.
