Description

There are two entries for hbase.regionserver.regionSplitLimit in hbase-default.xml

<property>
    <name>hbase.regionserver.regionSplitLimit</name>
    <value>2147483647</value>
    <description>Limit for the number of regions after which no more region
    splitting should take place. This is not a hard limit for the number of
    regions but acts as a guideline for the regionserver to stop splitting after
    a certain limit. Default is MAX_INT; i.e. do not block splitting.</description>
</property>

<property>
    <name>hbase.regionserver.regionSplitLimit</name>
    <value>1000</value>
    <description>
      Limit for the number of regions after which no more region splitting should take place.
      This is not hard limit for the number of regions but acts as a guideline for the regionserver
      to stop splitting after a certain limit. Default is set to 1000.
    </description>
</property>

Since property setting it to 1000 comes later, that's the real default value for now. From /conf of a master

<property>
  <name>hbase.regionserver.regionSplitLimit</name>
  <value>1000</value>
  <source>hbase-default.xml</source>
</property>

Which will be right default value to keep moving forward?
