stack updated HBASE-1506:
-------------------------

    Attachment: split.patch

This patch implements two things:

1. If the regionserver has something report the master -- a close, a split, 
etc. -- it does not wait to send it (Splits are 4 messages, opens are two 
messages usually -- these are still sent in a batch but this patch means less 
baching at the benefit of faster reaction to cluster event).
2. The lower half of a split is assigned immediately to the local regionserver. 
 Only the top half is given to the master to assign.

Splits should run a little faster.  1. above takes away a small piece of the 
delay.  2. means that there is half the master/regionserver interaction getting 
daughter regions back on line.

Will be back with a few numbers.

> [performance] Make splits faster

>
> Regionservers run splits.  They close the region to split, divide it, and 
> then tell master about the two new regions.  Master then assigns new regions. 
>  New regions need to come up in new locations.  Both regions are offline 
> during this time.
> Instead, regionserver might run split as it does now but new, deploy the 
> lower-half on the current regionserver immediately.  It'd then inform master 
> that it had split, and that it was serving the lower half.  Master would then 
> take care of assigning the upper half.
> Benefits would be that clients who were accessing the lower half of the split 
> would not need to go through recalibration.  They'd just keep working.  
> There'd be disruption for those keys that landed in the top half of the split 
> only.
