Do you want this in 0.98 ?
> A bug in RegionSplitter.UniformSplit algorithm

> Key: HBASE-12716

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: regionserver

> I`m working for another issues HBASE-12590 and trying to use the UniformSplit
> algorithm in RegionSplitter. When the last bytes of start key and end key are
> adjacent in alphabetical order or ASCII order, the UniformSplit algorithm
> meet an NPE.
> Like startkey: aaa, endkey :aab
> startkey:1111 endkey: 1112
> For example, we write this simple test code:
> {code}
> import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.RegionSplitter.UniformSplit;
> ......
> byte[] a1 = { 'a', 'a', 'a' };
> byte[] a2 = { 'a', 'a', 'b' };
> UniformSplit us = new UniformSplit();
> byte[] mid = us.split(a1, a2);
> ......
> {code}
> We will get the ERROR:
> {code}
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.RegionSplitter$UniformSplit.split(RegionSplitter.java:986)
> {code}
> We hope this algorithm should be able to calculate the split point with an
> additional byte. for example:
> "aaa" and "aab", split point= "aaaP"
> "1111" and "1112", split point ="1111P"
