Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-5140:
-------------------------------------------
bq. The best practice is to presplit when creating the table.
I think this jira is valid for cases where the regions are so big (GBs) that
one would benefit from having multiple mappers per region.
> TableInputFormat subclass to allow N number of splits per region during MR
> jobs

> In regards to [HBASE-5138|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5138] I
> am working on a subclass for the TableInputFormat class that overrides
> getSplits in order to generate N number of splits per regions and/or N number
> of splits per job. The idea is to convert the startKey and endKey for each
> region from byte[] to BigDecimal, take the difference, divide by N, convert
> back to byte[] and generate splits on the resulting values. Assuming your
> keys are fully distributed this should generate splits at nearly the same
> number of rows per split. Any suggestions on this issue are welcome.
