[STORM-1116] storm-hbase doesn't create a table for you, it would be great to have an option to create a table and optionally pre-split the table by passing a splitting algorithm to it.

Description

HBase has a utility to create and pre-split a table.
hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.RegionSplitter table_name HexStringSplit -c 30 -f cf

The other algorithm choice is UniformSplit. User can also implement a custom algorithm. It would be great to be able to pass an option to create a table, perhaps in the prepare() method as well as pre-split the table based on the passed algorithm.

Something like this "hbaseMapper().withCreateTable(numRegions, columnFamily, algorithm) where algorithm is UniformSplit, HexStringSplit and/or a custom algorithm implementation
