> Key: KUDU-3476
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-3476
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: master, tserver
> Reporter: Mahesh Reddy
> Assignee: Mahesh Reddy
> Priority: Major
>
> The current replica placement algorithm uses the power of two choices
> algorithm. This algorithm randomly selects tservers and places the replica on
> the tserver with less replicas. This can lead to potential hotspotting as it
> doesn't discriminate by range or table so many tablets from the same
> range/table can be disproportionally distributed.
> With this new feature, the replicas will be placed in a way that the tablets
> per range will be equally distributed amongst the available tservers. If
> multiple tservers have the same amount of replicas per range, then the
> tserver with less replicas for that table will be selected. If multiple
> tservers have the same amount of replicas for that table, the tserver with
> less total replicas will be chosen.
