GUI Graphical Interface for HBase region servers

Hannibal is a tool to help monitor and maintain HBase-Clusters that are configured for manual splitting.

This helps us to answer following questions

1.     How well are regions balanced over the cluster?
2.     How well are the regions split for each table?
3.     How do regions evolve over time
