java.lang.Object
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.RegionSplitRestriction
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.KeyPrefixRegionSplitRestriction

A RegionSplitRestriction implementation that groups rows by a prefix of the row-key.

This ensures that a region is not split "inside" a prefix of a row key. I.e. rows can be co-located in a region by their prefix.
