ronan stokes commented on HBASE-15907:
--------------------------------------
There are actually a number of references to pre-splitting scattered through
the documentation but they show examples in code or refer to external articles
- there are not many examples of presplitting from HBase Shell.
Patch adds section to HBase Shell tricks
> Missing documentation of create table split options

> Earlier versions of the online documentation seemed to have more material
> around the split options available in the HBase shell - but these seem to
> have been omitted in the process of various updates.
> Presplitting has minimal matches and only brings up references to
> presplitting from code.
> However there are a number of options relating to creation of splits in
> tables available in the HBase shell
> For example :
> - create table with set of split literals
> - create table specifying number of splits and a split algorithm
> - create table specifying a split file (not personally verified)
