Ability to specify a custom start/end to RegionSplitter
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4627
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4627
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.94.0
Reporter: Nicolas Spiegelberg
Assignee: Nicolas Spiegelberg
HBASE-4489 changed the default endKey on HexStringSplit from 7FFF... to FFFF...
While this is correct, existing users of 0.90 RegionSplitter have 7FFF as the
end key in their schema and the last region will not split properly under this
new code. We need to let the user specify a custom start/end key range for
when situations like this arise. Optimally, we should also write the start/end
key in META so we could figure this out implicitly instead of requiring the
user to explicitly specify it.
