Jean-Marc Spaggiari commented on HBASE-8432:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks for the followup [~aaronwq]. Have you tried also the other scenarios?
Like regions# < RS#/2 and regions# > RS#? Are they all still working fine?
> a table with unbalanced regions will balance indefinitely with the
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.DefaultLoadBalancer'

> from the above logs, we can also find that some regions needn't move, but
> they moved. follow into
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.DefaultLoadBalancer.balanceCluster()', I
> found that 'maxToTake' is error calculated.
