Description

When I check the properties of HBase table on Web UI, some tables have SPLITS_FILE property but some don't. In fact, those tables pre-split correctly but this property is not stored in .tableinfo in HDFS. But some table do, that's a little weird.

Knowing SPLITS_FILE helps us to compare the backup table in different cluster with the original one.
