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

                 Key: HBASE-3448
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3448
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: client, scripts, util
            Reporter: Nicolas Spiegelberg
            Assignee: Nicolas Spiegelberg
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.90.1


For certain use cases, there are a number of advantages to manually splitting 
regions instead of having the HBase split code determine this for you 
automatically.  There are currently some API additions to HBaseAdmin and HTable 
that allow you to manually split on a small scale.  This JIRA is about 
importing a RegionSplitter utility program to help pre-split and perform 
rolling splits on a live table when needed.  Will also add documentation to 
answer common questions about why you would pre-split.
