Jim Kellerman resolved HADOOP-2292.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
This is the intended behavior since the administrative operations can take a
long time to execute, it is very likely that the rpc would time out.
> HBaseAdmin.disableTable/enableTable aren't synchronous
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-2292
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2292
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: contrib/hbase
> Affects Versions: 0.15.0
> Reporter: Michael Bieniosek
>
> I'm trying to programmatically add a column family to a table.
> I have code that looks like:
> <code>
> admin.disableTable(table);
> try {
> admin.addColumn(table, new HColumnDescriptor(columnName));
> } finally {
> admin.enableTable(table);
> }
> HTable ht = new HTable(config, table);
> <code>
> Two things sometimes go wrong here:
> 1. addColumn fails because the table is not disabled
> 2. new HTable() fails because the table is not enabled
> I suspect that the enableTable/disableTable calls are not synchronous, ie.
> they return before they are finished. I can work around this problem by
> inserting Thread.sleeps after the enableTable and disableTable calls.
