since 2.5.0 and will be removed in 4.0.0. Use RegionSplitRestriction, instead.
A custom RegionSplitPolicy implementing a SplitPolicy that groups rows by a prefix of the row-key with a delimiter. Only the first delimiter for the row key will define the prefix of the row key that is used for grouping. This ensures that a region is not split "inside" a prefix of a row key. I.e. rows can be co-located in a region by their prefix. As an example, if you have row keys delimited with _, like userid_eventtype_eventid, and use prefix delimiter _, this split policy ensures that all rows starting with the same userid, belongs to the same region.
