Optimize M-R by bulk excluding regions - less InputSplit-s  to avoid traffic on region servers when performing M-R on a subset of the schema

                 Key: HBASE-2302
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2302
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Kay Kay


TableInputFormatBase , creates a InputSplit per region. Given that  the keys are sorted - sometimes -  it might be needed to perform M-R on a subset of the keyset ( regions ) . Adding a provision to filter the regions when generating InputSplits might be useful . 

The granularity of exclusion is per-region-wise. A RowFilter might still be needed during a Scan on a separate region, but that is a separate issue altogether. 

Methodology: Add a way to prune the keyset before generating inputsplits , by default - all sets are returned indicating all regions are included that could be overridden as necessary, depending on the higher-level logic.
