Description

The current docs for the continuous ingest test mention the utility for generating split points:

Also, create the table "ci" before running. You can run `org.apache.accumulo.test.continuous.GenSplits` to generate splits points for a continuous ingest table.

It should give instructions on actually using it, e.g. for the default range of 0 to Long.MAX_VALUE on a cluster with 4 nodes:

[user@edge continuous]$ $ACCUMULO_HOME/bin/accumulo org.apache.accumulo.test.continuous.GenSplits 32 > ci.splits
[user@edge continuous]$ $ACCUMULO_HOME/bin/accumulo shell -u root
