> We are replacing the HTableDescriptor by TableDescriptor from code base. The
> TableDescriptor is designed to be a read-only object so user can't modifiy it
> through MasterObserver. HBASE-18502 change many methods of MasterObserver to
> use TableDescriptor but some deprecated methods still accept the
> HTableDescriptor. User may be confused by why some methods can't modify the
> table descriptor.
> In short, Should we allow user to modify the passed table descriptor?
> # if yes, we should introduce a mechanism that user can return a modified
> table descripror
> # if no, we should pass ImmutableHTableDescriptor to user. Or we just remove
> all methods accepting the HTableDescriptor
> Ditto for HColumnDescriptor.
