> Sorry, what's the actual reason behind this change, @bsglz ? IMO, people use KeyPrefixRegionSplitPolicy or DelimitedKeyPrefixRegionSplitPolicy just want to change the logic "how to split" but not "when to split", as we set SteppingSplitPolicy as default since 2.0.0, if them two extends IncreasingToUpperBoundRegionSplitPolicy(this policy may be lead to too many regions), the "when to split" changed too, it will be strange for folks. BTW, currently them two "how to split" polies bind to a sepcific "when to split" policy is not flexible, for example, we can not use them meanwhile using constant size to check if shouldSplit, seems it needs refactor here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
