won't split. We use this method when copying 'live' hbase to make a
backup.

Is there a way to prevent regions from splitting while we are running a

doing the puts. Is it sensible to disable splitting during the job that
does lots of Put? Would there be any danger in this (i.e. disabling
splitting during the job, and re-enabling it when the job completes)?
I see the hbase.regionserver.thread.splitcompactcheckfrequency could be
used to make splits happen less frequently, but what I'd really like is
for splitting to be disabled, then re-enabled later.
