Extend createTable to support initial region partitioning specification
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1035
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1035
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: client, master
            Reporter: Andrew Purtell
            Priority: Minor


Krzysztof Szlapinski up on the list would like the ability to split an empty 
table.

Another way to look at this request is as an extension of 
HBaseAdmin.createTable and related HMaster functions to accept an array of HRI 
that will define the initial set of regions. Master should update META 
accordingly and assign the regions out to various regionservers even though the 
regions will have no store files at first. 

{code}
void createTable(HTableDescriptor desc, HRegionInfo[] initialRegions)
    throws IllegalArgumentException, MasterNotRunningException, 
TableExistsException,
      IOException
{code}
