What are the different ways to create pre-split tables in HBase?

In HBase, there are several ways to pre-split tables:

1. Automatic pre-splitting: HBase automatically pre-splits based on the number of Region Servers, with each server responsible for a portion of the data. While this method is simple and convenient, it may result in uneven data distribution.
2. Manual pre-partitioning involves manually specifying a pre-partition key. The partition key is a binary value that can be designed according to business needs. Manual pre-partitioning ensures even distribution of data but requires manual management of partitions.
3. One way to evenly distribute data among different regions is by using a hashing algorithm, such as MurmurHash or MD5, to generate pre-partition keys.
4. By using a single partition key, data can be distributed across one or more regions. This method is suitable for situations where data access patterns are uneven, allowing hot data to be concentrated in one region to improve read performance.

It is necessary to choose a suitable pre-partitioned table creation method based on specific business needs and data access patterns.
