Interface LoadBalancer

All Superinterfaces:

org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configurable, ConfigurationObserver, Stoppable

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseLoadBalancer, FavoredNodeLoadBalancer, SimpleLoadBalancer, StochasticLoadBalancer

@InterfaceAudience.Private
public interface LoadBalancer
extends org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configurable, Stoppable, ConfigurationObserver

Makes decisions about the placement and movement of Regions across RegionServers.

Cluster-wide load balancing will occur only when there are no regions in transition and according to a fixed period of a time using balanceCluster(Map).

Inline region placement with immediateAssignment(java.util.List<org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegionInfo>, java.util.List<org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ServerName>) can be used when the Master needs to handle closed regions that it currently does not have a destination set for. This can happen during master failover.

On cluster startup, bulk assignment can be used to determine locations for all Regions in a cluster.

This classes produces plans for the AssignmentManager to execute.

Parameters:

st -

setMasterServices

void setMasterServices(MasterServices masterServices)

Set the master service.

Parameters:

masterServices -

balanceCluster

List<RegionPlan> balanceCluster(Map<ServerName,List<HRegionInfo>> clusterState)
                                throws HBaseIOException

Perform the major balance operation

Parameters:

clusterState -

Returns:

List of plans

Throws:

HBaseIOException

roundRobinAssignment

Map<ServerName,List<HRegionInfo>> roundRobinAssignment(List<HRegionInfo> regions,
                                                     List<ServerName> servers)
                                                       throws HBaseIOException

Perform a Round Robin assignment of regions.

Parameters:
