> Environment: HBase-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"
