Create the table with the region split threshold set to Long.MAX_VALUE and a set of pre-split points that partitions the key space as evenly as possible. Use HBase's TotalOrderPartitioner over row keys and HFileOutputFormat to build HFiles that fit within the predefined splits. The result will never split. If you do not modify the table(s), there will be no compaction activity either. - Andy
