Enabling stripe compaction without disabling table

[Bryan Beaudreault]

Hello,

We're running hbase 1.2.0-cdh5.7.0. According to the HBase book, in order
to enable stripe compactions on a table we need to first disable the table. We
basically can't disable tables in production. Is it possible to do this
without disabling the table?  If not, are there any plans to make this
doable?

Thanks!
