Basically I have one row key that has a lot of parent:child cols in it the parent is the same and the Childs are all different. I been testing the splits part of the servers so set the region max size to 16MB so it would split more often. when I can back after a log process had been running I had like 32 splits one about 5 of them had the same start row for the table. I did not know if the master held parent:child data for the regions? I guess if it did know the start row key:parent:child col then it could handle splits of a large row.
