Zhihong Yu commented on HBASE-5959:
-----------------------------------

For this feature, design document showing the origin of Stochastic approach 
would help reviewers understand better.

{code}
+class BalanceInfo {
+
+  private final int nextRegionForUnload;
{code}
Please what the integer represents.
{code}
+public abstract class BaseLoadBalancer implements LoadBalancer {
{code}
Please add javadoc for the above class.
{code}
+  protected HTableDescriptor getTableDescriptor(byte[] tableName) throws 
IOException {
{code}
Why would the above method reside in BaseLoadBalancer ?
StochasticLoadBalancer, it starts to get interesting.
{code}
+    // Perform a stocastic walk to see if we can get a
{code}
Please finish the above comment.
{code}
+        if (lRegion != null) {
+          rightRegionList.add(lRegion);
+        }
+
+        double newCost = computerCost(initialRegionMapping, clusterState);
{code}
computerCost() should be named computeCost(). How would the above call utilize 
rightRegionList ?
{code}
+        if (newCost < currentCost || RANDOM.nextFloat() < 0.01) {
+          currentCost = newCost;
+        } else {
{code}
What if newCost is much worse than currentCost but we choose it due to 
RANDOM.nextFloat() < 0.01 ?
{code}
+    double skewCost = computeSkewLoadCost(clusterState);
+    return moveCost + (100 * skewCost);
{code}
Why would skewCost carry such a big weight ?

Please add test for StochasticLoadBalancer.
