enable/disable table

                 Key: HBASE-655
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-655
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Michael Bieniosek


>From HADOOP-2292:

> What you might do is open a HTable on the META region 
> (HConstants.META_TABLE_NAME) and scan HConstants.COL_REGIONINFO_ARRAY which 
> will give you back HRegionInfo objects (as bytes).
> Find the table in question by comparing your table name to 
> regionInfo.getTableDesc().getName()
> If adding or deleting columns, check regionInfo.getTableDesc().hasFamily()
> If changing table on/off line check regionInfo.isOffline()
> If any of the regions don't meet the criteria, close the scanner, sleep and 
> rescan.

This is a bit too complicated for me.  If you won't make 
enableTable/disableTable synchronous, we should at least have a 
HTable.isTableDisabled method.
