createTable java doc needs to be improved
-----------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4170
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4170
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: regionserver
Affects Versions: 0.90.1
Environment: HBase-0.90.1
Reporter: Mubarak Seyed
Fix For: 0.90.1
HBaseAdmin.createTable() java doc says
public void createTable(HTableDescriptor desc,
byte[][] splitKeys)
throws IOException
Creates a new table with an initial set of empty regions defined by the
specified split keys. The total number of regions created will be the number of
split keys plus one (the first region has a null start key and the last region
has a null end key). Synchronous operation.
If we specify null values for first region start key and last region end key,
geting NullPointerException as Arrays.sort compares each element.
I guess the documentation should not talk about null values and explain about
splitKeys[][] length as n-1, where n is number of regions.
splitKeys[][] would look like
splitKeys[0] = "key value 1"
..
splitKeys[n-1] = "key value n-1"
