Add way to control the split point of region
--------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3879
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3879
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: regionserver
Reporter: Ophir Cohen
Priority: Minor
Currently the split point picked to be the mid key of the HFile.
>From the code comments:
"Midkey for this file. We work with block boundaries only so
* returned midkey is an approximation only."
It could be good to have a way to override the default option and use other
method.
Possible implementation:
Create interface (similar to Hadoop's partitioner) that gets StoreFile /
StoreFile.Reader and return the splitting point.
