I'm currently creating a table using the HBaseAdmin object. The reason I'm doing it with the HBaseAdmin object is that I need to pre-split the table by specifying the start key, end key, and number of regions. I want to use Snappy compression for this table, however, I haven't seen any way to do this using the HBaseAdmin object. In all of the examples I've seen, they're creating the table from the HBase shell. How can I create a table with the HBaseAdmin object, and have that table use Snappy compression?
