We have very similar issues with HBase 1.1.2, especially around splits. It takes several minutes at times. We use phoenix with two global indexes and we know that compounds the issue a bit, but about 95% of inserts take < 50ms (with index writes included), but the remaining 5% are wild from 100ms to tens of minutes at times
