Michael Bieniosek commented on HBASE-639:
-----------------------------------------
Bryan, I wouldn't mind using HTable.getMetadata(), but I wouldn't have known to
look there if not for this issue. From a new-user perspective, it seems
reasonable to expect that functions like HBaseAdmin.listTables() and
HTable.getMetadata() would live in the same class.
> add HBaseAdmin.getTableDescriptor function

> Currently, to get a HTableDescriptor for a particular table, I have to call
> listTables() and then loop through the HTableDescriptor[]. It would be nice
> if the API just had a function to give me a single HTableDescriptor, since I
> already know the name of the table I'm interested in. Alternately,
> listTables could return a map of String -> HTableDescriptor, keyed off table
> name.
