I think that bulk imports are only valid to empty tables but I'd like
to confirm that understanding. Let's say that I have a table with
splits 2, 4, 6, and 8. Is it possible to bulk import mutations with
row id values of 3?

You can bulk load into existing tables, and Accumulo will figure out which
tablets to assign your files to. In your example, your file with row id
values of 3 would go into the tablet that ends at row 4. You could also
dynamically add a split point of 3, and bulk load would then put your file
into the newly created tablet ending in row 3.
