Thanks Erick. You made the point, the CPU usage is not high on my Leader server, so I guess I will leave it.
And if I want to, as you suggested, I guess I could remove some replica from certain collections and add them back in to break the election order, then take JVM down to force an election. Thanks again.

The REBALANCELEADERS stuff was put in to deal with 100s of leaders winding up on a single machine in a case where extremely high throughput was required. Until you get into pretty high scale the additional "work" on a leader is minimal. So unless your CPU usage is consistently significantly higher on the machine with all the leaders, I wouldn't worry about it. Otherwise there isn't much you can do I'm afraid. If you have asymmetric replica placement leaders will tend to different machines. You could try to take the JVM down on the machine with all the leaders and let leader election redistribute, but I that's not a long-term solution.
