/**
*
*
* Test if the given region is to be included in the InputSplit while splitting
* the regions of a table.
* <p>
* This optimization is effective when there is a specific reasoning to exclude an entire region from the M-R job,
* (and hence, not contributing to the InputSplit), given the start and end keys of the same. <br>
* Useful when we need to remember the last-processed top record and revisit the [last, current) interval for M-R processing,
* continuously. In addition to reducing InputSplits, reduces the load on the region server as well, due to the ordering of the keys.
* <br>
* <br>
* Note: It is possible that <code>endKey.length() == 0 </code> , for the last (recent) region.
* <br>
* Override this method, if you want to bulk exclude regions altogether from M-R. By default, no region is excluded( i.e. all regions are included).
*
*
* @param startKey Start key of the region
* @param endKey End key of the region
* @return true, if this region needs to be included as part of the input (default).
