      There is a parameter, hbase.regions.slop, with default value of 0.2
      This parameter allows actual region count to deviate by this percentage from (ideal) average region count.

    Description

      From our experience, cluster can be well balanced and yet, one table's regions may be badly concentrated on few region servers.
      For example, one table has 839 regions (380 regions at time of table creation) out of which 202 are on one server.

      It would be desirable for load balancer to distribute regions for specified tables evenly across the cluster. Each of such tables has number of regions many times the cluster size.
