I ran into this as well just today, and am very interested in the answer. HBase itself allows regions to be explicitly split as well as pre-split and auto-split. SALT_BUCKETS seems like a pre-split equivalent of sorts, so I am interested to see what there may be in terms of auto- and explicit-salting.
