Hi all, I checked what all you said.
#1. Balancer I used the command "*balance_switch true*" in the HBase shell and that command returned true, indicating that the load balancer was running. Then I used the command "*balancer*" to prompt HBase to load balance its regions. However after more than 5 minutes, region assignment for the table I mentioned in the first email did not change at all, see this screen shot <http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=19618>. I checked the master log since the time I manaully trigger a balance operation by the command " *balancer*", and here is the master log <http://pastebin.com/PagJeB1f>. Since the load balancer is running all the time, it's weird to see that regions of the table in concern were never balanced. #2. Balancer configuration I'm using CDH 5.1.0 and I did not find where to set balance configuration in Cloudera Manager. Could anybody tell me how to ? #3. HBASE-12139 StochasticLoadBalancer My HBase cluster has about ten tables, and none of these tables has over 20 regions. The HBase cluster consisted of 5 nodes so the issue HBASE-12139 does not apply to my problem.
