Jeremy Carroll commented on HBASE-10603:
----------------------------------------

FWIW we currently use the org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.RegionSplitter with online rolling splits to perform capacity planning on live clusters. The HBase shell only allows for Splits for newly created tables I believe.

> RegionSplitter is a utility for partitioning a table based on some split algorithm. Those same algorithms are exposed via the shell create command. There's no value in having two ways to access the same functionality. Ensure the main method doesn't provide any functionality absent from the shell and remove it.
