Hi, all,
As I understand, HBase will automatically split a region when the region is too
big.
So in what scenario, user needs to do a manual split? Could someone kindly give
me some examples that user need to do the region split explicitly via HBase
Shell or Java API?
Thanks very much.

Hi Ming,
The reason why we have it is because the user can decide where each key
goes. I can think multiple scenarios off the top of my head where it would
be useful and others can correct me if I am wrong.
1. Cases where you cannot have row keys which are equally lexically
distributed, leading i
i had a customer with a sequence-based key (yes, he knew all the downsides
for that). being able to split manually meant he could split a region that
got too big at the end vice right down the middle. with a sequentially
increasing key, splitting the region in half left one region half the
desired
ee a problem of auto split.
Is this true? Can HBase do split in other ways?
Thanks,
Ming

Of course, the exact way you do the split depends on the data you plan to store.
