You can add following property with true to balance by table and restart masters.

hbase.master.loadbalance.bytable

hi @Rajeshbabu Chintaguntla, if this propert is set to true, will all the new tables that gets created in the future too balance accordingly?.

@ARUN please keep in mind that by setting this property you're giving load balancer algorithm limited information about the load on your cluster. It will impact it's ability to balance the regions.
