> Add capability to add table splits at table creation. Recent changes now
> allow iterator and locality groups to be created at table creation. Do the
> same with splits. Comment below from
> [ACCUMULO-4806|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4806] explains
> the motivation for the request:
> {quote}[~etcoleman] added a comment - 2 hours ago
> 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.
