Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-9462:
-------------------------------------------
There's at least 10 different ways to check if a table exists, all used in the
client. For example, HCM.getHTableDescriptor will throw a
TableNotFoundException for you. Or, in the registry, if the znode is missing in
ZK then it probably means the table doesn't exist.
Anyways, I was trying to get us to a more streamlined way of doing it but
you're doing the work so if you prefer sticking to scanning .META. via the CT
then +1
> HBaseAdmin#isTableEnabled() should return false for non-existent table
