----------------------------------

             Summary: Pre-split in HBaseAdmin.create() can not find the split point
                 Key: HBASE-12717
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12717
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Admin
    Affects Versions: 0.98.6
            Reporter: Weichen Ye
            Priority: Critical


When we set the start key and the end key in the function:
createTable(HTableDescriptor desc, byte[] startKey, byte[] endKey, int numRegions)

the pre-split algorithm could not find a split point between the keys like "aaa" and "aab", "1111" and "1112". 

This pre-split algorithm should be able to get split point with an additional bytes. for example:
"aaa" and "aab", split point= "aaaP"
"1111" and "1112", split point ="1111P" 

Example Code for this bug:
admin.createTable(htd, Bytes.toBytes("aaa"), Bytes.toBytes("aab"), 4);

we will get the following ERROR:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to split key range into enough regions
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HBaseAdmin.createTable(HBaseAdmin.java:473)
	at test.JavaTest.main(JavaTest.java:28)
