Any hints as to why the balancer isn't running automatically. I'll have a situation like the one below:
ds1.dev.qualtrics.com:60030 1315865095639 requests=0, regions=0, usedHeap=35, maxHeap=795 ds2.dev.qualtrics.com:60030 1315865040205 requests=0, regions=0, usedHeap=41, maxHeap=795 ds3.dev.qualtrics.com:60030 1315841275719 requests=45, regions=23, usedHeap=77, maxHeap=795 ds4.dev.qualtrics.com:60030 1315841273112 requests=5, regions=23, usedHeap=359, maxHeap=795 In the hbase shell I check that the balancer is supposed to be running. hbase(main):004:0> balance_switch true true 0 row(s) in 0.9360 seconds It is. But it wont balance the regions until I run: hbase(main):007:0> balancer false 0 row(s) in 0.1000 seconds Then everything looks good: ds1.dev.qualtrics.com:60030 1315865095639 requests=0, regions=11, usedHeap=40, maxHeap=795 ds2.dev.qualtrics.com:60030 1315865040205 requests=3, regions=11, usedHeap=44, maxHeap=795 ds3.dev.qualtrics.com:60030 1315841275719 requests=0, regions=12, usedHeap=83, maxHeap=795 ds4.dev.qualtrics.com:60030 1315841273112 requests=1, regions=12, usedHeap=349, maxHeap=795 Is there a place I should be looking to see why the balancer isn't running automatically?
