Rajesh Balamohan commented on HBASE-5140:
-----------------------------------------

@Josh - Thanks for this patch.

for loop within getSplits() generates the splits with the help of generateRegionSplits(). However, the returned list<InputSplit> is not added back to "List<InputSplit> splits = new ArrayList<InputSplit>(keys.getFirst().length);"

> In regards to [HBASE-5138|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5138] I am working on a patch for the TableInputFormat class that overrides getSplits in order to generate N number of splits per regions and/or N number of splits per job. The idea is to convert the startKey and endKey for each region from byte[] to BigDecimal, take the difference, divide by N, convert back to byte[] and generate splits on the resulting values. Assuming your keys are fully distributed this should generate splits at nearly the same number of rows per split. Any suggestions on this issue are welcome.
