-----------------------------------
@Nick Dimiduk
retainAssignment flag is used to avoid assignment inconsistencies of enabling
table regions during master start up.
This is set from skipTableStateCheck to get to know whether its recovery of
enabling table or normal enable table call from admin. Yes, there is not
distinction between the two.
> Failure on enable/disable table will cause table state in zk to be left as
> enabling/disabling until master is restart

> Affects Versions: 0.94.2, 0.96.0

> In Enable/DisableTableHandler code, if something goes wrong in handling, the
> table state in zk is left as ENABLING / DISABLING. After that we cannot force
> any more action from the API or CLI, and the only recovery path is restarting
> the master.
> {code}
> if (done) {
> // Flip the table to enabled.
> this.assignmentManager.getZKTable().setEnabledTable(
> this.tableNameStr);
> LOG.info("Table '" + this.tableNameStr
> + "' was successfully enabled. Status: done=" + done);
> } else {
> LOG.warn("Table '" + this.tableNameStr
> + "' wasn't successfully enabled. Status: done=" + done);
> }
> {code}
> Here, if done is false, the table state is not changed. There is also no way
> to set skipTableStateCheck from cli / api.
> We have run into this issue a couple of times before.
