> After several months of debugging and tuning the balancer and normalizer on a 
> large production cluster, we found that working from visualizations of the 
> current region state was very useful for understanding behaviors and 
> quantifying improvements we made along the way. Specifically, we found that a 
> chart of total assigned region count and total assigned region store files 
> size per table per host was immensely useful for tuning the balancer. 
> Histograms of store file size made understanding normalizer activity much 
> more intuitive.
> Our scripts would parse the output of the shell's {{status 'detailed'}} 
> command, extract the desired metric, and produce charts. I'd like to build 
> into the master UI the equivalent functionality, with data coming directly 
> from the {{ClusterMetrics object}}, and data rendered into an interactive 
> chart rendered in the browser.
