stack commented on HBASE-11692:
-------------------------------
The lead-off sentence is a little odd:
It is possible to manually split your table into regions, either at table
creation
3087 (pre-splitting), or at a later time by altering the table.
Drop 'into regions' and when you say 'by altering the table', the term 'alter'
implies we need to disable the table before can split but this is not the case.
bq. This means that the Region Server holding the last region is
3096 always under load, and the other Region Servers are idle,
or mostly idle.
We actually call this out as a pathology earlier in the refguide. You might
refer to it here.
Is some of this elsewhere in the refguide already? We should tie to '2.6.2.7.
Managed Splitting' Relate '9.7.4. Region Splits'? Relate '14.8.8.
Anti-Pattern: One Hot Region'? And....17.9.3.2. Pre-splitting the table and
....http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#precreate.regions
This doc is great. +1 Fix above on commit.

> Subject: Why hbase need manual split?
> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>
> Hi, all,
> As I understand, HBase will automatically split a region when the region is
> too big.
> So in what scenario, user needs to do a manual split? Could someone kindly
> give me some examples that user need to do the region split explicitly via
> HBase Shell or Java API?
> Thanks very much.
