Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-6720:
--------------------------------------

[~lhofhansl] Sorry what I wrote was unclear.  I meant to say:  The code Ted 
posted won't stop the load balancer from moving lots of regions if the region 
moves happen quickly.  cutoffTime is some time way in the future assuming that 
things are going normally.  So since applying the plans is usually very quick.  
All of the plans will be applied. 

If anything I would stopping the LoadBalancer from moving after a certain 
number of regions is more useful than stopping it after a number of 
milliseconds. It's easier to for users to know a good starting value that 
applies to their cluster.  There's no way I could tell you right now how long a 
balance on our cluster takes when a RegionServer goes down.  However I could 
say the max number of regions that I would want to move at a time.
                
> Optionally limit number of regions balanced in each balancer run
