> For some high capacity ingest, the desired path is to do some pre-splits,
> bulk import, and then let it naturally split down the rest of the way. If all
> of the pre-split tablets made split evenly, then the system will have
> continuous ranges bundled together on tservers. This poor distribution can
> impact performance depending on the operations performed. This could be
> handled in the load balancer, but it could be tricky. You don't want to
> randomly reassign tablets with any sort of frequency. Rather, you want to do
> a one-time operation in doing so. Given the initial assignment code is a bit
> random (needs to be validated), this could easily be done by offlining a
> table, purging all location records for it from the !METADATA table, and
> bringing it back online. The balancer will assign the table randomly, at
> which point the user could force a major compaction to restablish locality
> (as well some permanence in tablet assignment).
