More on Splitting

Hi Hector and Wes,

To consider different splitting heuristics the following is a good read:
https://hortonworks.com/blog/apache-hbase-region-splitting-and-merging/

Particularly:
* ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy
* IncreasingToUpperBoundRegionSplitPolicy
* KeyPrefixRegionSplitPolicy

Also, as you guys keep building BHATs this article is a nice overview of how HBase timeseries are recommended to work today (from the HBase contributor who helped with the Ambari Metrics System (AMS)):
https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/92360/efficient-time-series-applications-in-hbase.html

You can see more on the compaction strategy that AMS motivated in HBASE-14468: Compaction improvements: FIFO compaction policy.
