ronan stokes commented on HBASE-15907: -------------------------------------- There are actually a number of references to pre-splitting scattered through the documentation but they show examples in code or refer to external articles - there are not many examples of presplitting from HBase Shell. Patch adds section to HBase Shell tricks > Missing documentation of create table split options > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-15907 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15907 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 1.2.1, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5 > Reporter: ronan stokes > Labels: documentation, patch > Fix For: 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.2.2, 1.1.6, 1.3.1 > > Attachments: HBASE-15907.patch > > > Earlier versions of the online documentation seemed to have more material > around the split options available in the HBase shell - but these seem to > have been omitted in the process of various updates. > Presplitting has minimal matches and only brings up references to > presplitting from code. > However there are a number of options relating to creation of splits in > tables available in the HBase shell > For example : > - create table with set of split literals > - create table specifying number of splits and a split algorithm > - create table specifying a split file (not personally verified) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
