+/**
+ * Balancer conditionals supplement cost functions in the {@link 
StochasticLoadBalancer}. Cost
+ * functions are insufficient and difficult to work with when making discrete 
decisions; this is
+ * because they operate on a continuous scale, and each cost function's 
multiplier affects the
+ * relative importance of every other cost function. So it is difficult to 
meaningfully and clearly
+ * value many aspects of your region distribution via cost functions alone. 
Conditionals allow you
+ * to very clearly define discrete rules that your balancer would ideally 
follow. To clarify, a
+ * conditional violation will not block a region assignment because we would 
prefer to have uptime
+ * than have perfectly intentional balance. But conditionals allow you to, for 
example, define that
+ * a region's primary and secondary should not live on the same rack. Another 
example, conditionals
+ * make it easy to define that system tables will ideally be isolated on their 
own RegionServer
+ * (without needing to manage distinct RegionServer groups). Use of 
conditionals may cause an
+ * extremely unbalanced cluster to exceed its max balancer runtime. This is 
necessary because
+ * conditional candidate generation is quite expensive, and cutting it off 
early could prevent us
+ * from finding a solution.

Review Comment:
   What would be the advantage of using Configured vs Configurable? I thought 
the Configurable java doc described this well: `Something that may be 
configured with a Configuration.`
