Jeremy Carroll commented on HBASE-10603:
----------------------------------------
FWIW we currently use the org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.RegionSplitter with
online rolling splits to perform capacity planning on live clusters. The HBase
shell only allows for Splits for newly created tables I believe.
> Deprecate RegionSplitter CLI tool

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: util

> Priority: Minor

> Fix For: 0.99.0
>
>
> RegionSplitter is a utility for partitioning a table based on some split
> algorithm. Those same algorithms are exposed via the shell create command.
> There's no value in having two ways to access the same functionality. Ensure
> the main method doesn't provide any functionality absent from the shell and
> remove it.
