Review comment:
I think this is the best way to do it at the moment. Currently, it seems
that TableDescriptorBuilder is intended to be used for writing only, in which
case we would not want the builder itself to have methods like getColumnFamily
or hasColumnFamily. This is consistent with the lack of getValue and setValue
methods on the builder.
Other than adding methods to builder, the only other way to shortcut the
handful of calls this patch makes to `tdb.build` would be to cache the
TableDescriptor at the start of each method that uses a T.D.. I have to
recommend against this approach since it would technically change the behavior.
Ex: If you were to execute something in the shell like `alter 't1', {NAME =>
'fam1', METHOD => 'delete'}, {NAME => 'fam1', VERSIONS => 5}` where a C.F. is
changed multiple times. In this example, a cached T.D. would not reflect the
deletion of the C.F..
**With these thoughts, I am inclined to leave the patch as-is.**
