should be pretty safe IMO.

Table.open() is the only public interface to the constructor or _instances... 
aka its the only public way to get a Table

> i think that to support 100k tables (not impossible, in a 
> hosted-cassandra-as-a-service scenario) we're going to want to make table dir 
> creation lazy.
> then we would want to make scanning for sstables faster by only doing one 
> listdir call per datadir, to see which table subdirs are present, and then 
> checking only those for sstable files.  this would involve some re-org of the 
> onstart code.
> (note that we don't want to prune directories if there are no sstables left 
> in them, since we'd end up re-creating them at some point anyway; we just 
> want to allow the lack of a table subdir to imply the same thing as an empty 
> one.)
