Subject: Re: table splitting - how to check
truncate_preserve.rb was added by HBASE-5525 which went into 0.95.
So it should be in 0.96

Hi Marcelo,
Truncate also removes the regions boundaries. You can use truncate_preserve
if you want to keep your region splits. Not sure if it's available in
0.96...
Also, I don't think you can look at the splits from the shell command...
