Ed Coleman commented on ACCUMULO-4806:
--------------------------------------
It would go al long way if the splits could be added at table creation or when
table is offline. When the other API changes were made by Mark, I wondered if
this task could also could be done at that time - but I believe that it was
more complicated.
The delay is that when a table is created and then the splits added and then
taken offline there is a period proportional to the number of splits as they
are off-loaded from the tserver where they originally got assigned. (The
re-online with splits distributed across the cluster is quite fast)
If the splits could be added at table creation, or while the table is offline
so that the delay for shedding the tablets could be avoided, then the need to
perform the actual import offline would not be as necessary.

> Allowing offline bulk imports would be useful for some customers. Currently
> these customers already take tables offline to set split points but then have
> to bring them back online before starting the import.
