> When performing an "alter" on multiple column families in a table, then shell
> will perform a separate {{Admin.modifyColumn()}} call for each column family
> being modified, with all of the table regions being bulk-reopened each time.
> It would be much better to simply apply all the changes to the table
> descriptor, then do a single call to {{Admin.modifyTable()}}.
