> Also, we should be clear in the tool's usage/docs whether we return n-1 splits that correspond to n requested tablets, or n splits that correspond to n requested splits that result in n+1 tablets. I have always considered the terminology splits to be between tablets, so 1 split results in two tablets. I think for tools it comes down to whether it uses the terminology #tablet or #split. The tool docs could state what is going on either way. Like if the tool has a numTablets parameter it could state it will output numTablets-1 splits. If it has a numSplits parameter, it could state it will output that many splits and that numSplits+1 tablets are created when adding the splits to Accumulo. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
