-----------------------------------

             Summary: storm-hbase doesn't create a table for you, it would be 
great to have an option to create a table and optionally pre-split the table by 
passing a splitting algorithm to it.
                 Key: STORM-1116
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1116
             Project: Apache Storm
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: storm-hbase
    Affects Versions: 0.9.2-incubating
            Reporter: Artem Ervits
            Priority: Minor


HBase has a utility to create and pre-split a table.
hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.RegionSplitter table_name HexStringSplit -c 
30 -f cf

The other algorithm choice is UniformSplit. User can also implement a custom 
algorithm. It would be great to be able to pass an option to create a table, 
perhaps in the prepare() method as well as pre-split the table based on the 
passed algorithm.

Something like this "hbaseMapper().withCreateTable(numRegions, columnFamily, 
algorithm) where algorithm is UniformSplit, HexStringSplit and/or a custom 
algorithm implementation
