------------------------------------------
> Optimize the wait time in Balancer for federation scenario

>
> Balancer has wait time between two consecutive iterations. That is to give
> some time for block movement to be fully committed ( return from replaceBlock
> doesn't mean the NN's blockmap has been updated and the block has been
> invalidated on the source node.).
> This wait time could be 23 seconds if {{dfs.heartbeat.interval}} is set to 10
> and {{dfs.namenode.replication.interval}} is to 3. In the case of federation,
> given we iterate through all namespaces in each iteration, this wait time
> becomes unnecessary as while balancer is processing the next namespace, it
> gives the previous namespace it just finished time to commit.
> In addition, Balancer calls {{Collections.shuffle(connectors);}} It doesn't
> seem necessary.
