Rushabh S Shah commented on HBASE-13682: ---------------------------------------- [~eclark]: Is this still an issue ? If yes, could you please point me to relevant code section that I can look into. I am new to hbase project and wants to make some impact in hbase project. Thanks in advance. > Compute HDFS locality in parallel. > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-13682 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13682 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Balancer > Reporter: Elliott Clark > Priority: Major > > Right now when the balancer needs to know about region locality it asks the > cache in serial. When the cache is empty or expired it goes to the NN. > On larger clusters with lots of blocks this can be really slow. That means > that balancer is un-usable while masters are being restarted. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
