Jim Kellerman commented on HADOOP-1519:
---------------------------------------

enableTable is the opposite of disableTable. These operations bring a table 
on-line or take it off-line respectively. The only real purpose for these APIs 
is for administrative operations that must be done when a table is not on-line 
(like addColumn for example).

In general, I would not recommend calling enableTable as tables are on-line by 
default and if a table is off-line, it means that an administrator is 
performing an off-line operation on it.

With respect to openTable, all the other table oriented operations 
(startUpdate, obtainScanner, get, etc) require openTable to be called first, so 
in the interest of consistency, I think getStartKeys should behave the same.
