Allow importtsv and Import to work truly offline when using bulk import option
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5475
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5475
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: mapreduce
Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
Currently importtsv (and now also Import with HBASE-5440) support using
HFileOutputFormat for later bulk loading.
However, currently that cannot be without having access to the table we're
going to import to, because both importtsv and Import need to lookup the split
points, and find the compression setting.
It would be nice if there would be an offline way to provide the split point
and compression setting.
