We have method to identify which tables will not receive read/write requests; But to be safe, we will exclude the tables that newly created (as they might be under creating), say in latest 2 days; If Hbase doesn't have such metadata, it's okay that we add that during the table creation; But if it can be implemented in the future HBase release, that is good for the users (especially the admins) I think;
