[GitHub] [accumulo] ctubbsii commented on pull request #3268: Fix TableOperations.onDemand() javadoc

   I think "on-demand" should be stylized with a hyphen when used as an adjective in prose/documentation. Variables/constants can be `ON_DEMAND`, or `ONDEMAND`, or `onDemand`, as needed, but when writing in English and not referring to the specific variable, the hyphenated form is more grammatically correct.
   
   For what it's worth, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-demand uses the hyphenated form as its disambiguation page for the term. As an adjective, "on-demand" seems correct. However, as a prepositional phrase, "on demand" seems correct. So, an "on-demand table" is a "table [made available] on demand".
