Hi Pankaj

If your threads are generating data (0..99999, 100000...199999, 
200000...299999, ...) of this format, your splits also should be like
0.....10000
10000...20000
20000...30000 and so on right? May be am missing something here.

But the data generation that creates the rowkey and the pre split regions' 
start and endkey have the same format right.

Means if the start and endkeys is created using Bytes.toString("xxx") then the 
rowkey should also be of that format.  If it is Bytes.toInt(xxx) then the 
internal byte representation may
Be different.  

Regards
Ram
