Summary: Lower StochasticLoadBalancer's default max run time Key: HBASE-9312 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9312 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.95.2 Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans Assignee: Elliott Clark Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.96.0 Three things about the 1 minute it takes to decide if we want to balance or not: - 1 minute is also the default socket timeout, so if you call "balancer" in the shell you often get a SocketTimeoutException back. Bad user experience. - Elliott was telling me that we might not even need 1 minute to compute a good balance anyways because of other improvements. I tested 30 seconds on a badly balanced cluster and it worked well. - I personally think that 1 minute is too much time (Elliott disagrees). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
