[Encountered Problem]
From the PD monitoring, it can be seen that the cluster has a large number of balance region operations, leading to an increase in cluster duration.
Generally speaking, the actions that cause balance region may include the following points:

  1. Hotspot writing
  2. Scaling up or down
  3. Improper configuration

Through analysis and inspection, the above points are not the issue. What other reasons could lead to a large number of balance region operations?

Actually, there is no write hotspot in the cluster. The version mentioned was incorrect; the correct version is 4.0.8.

If regions are unbalanced, it will lead to unbalanced loads as well. It is recommended to check these metrics.
