title: HBase pre-splitting and maximum region size
body: <p>I have a problem with finding answer for question:</p>
  
  <p>I want to pre-split HBase table for e.g. on 5 regions. Maximum file size in configuration I have set for 10GB. (Just example, of course). What if i will fill all my 5 regions for table? HBase will create 6th region for that? </p>
  
  <p>I found opinion that it will be automatically split into 2 regions, but I need to be sure and some explanation.</p>
  
  <p>Thank for all answers.</p>
