> When creating a couple of tables like this:
> 1) create an empty table
> 2) disable table, add new column family, enable table
> 3) put 100 small documents into newly created column
> around once in 10 tries the disable doesn't happen.
> I have no clue as to why the table isn't disabled in the first place, but if this occurs, two things in HBaseAdmin.disableTable() strike me as odd:
> - after numRetries tries to wait for disabling we exit the loop; there is no exception or error message:
> ...
> 2008-05-14 16:19:47,903 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HBaseAdmin: Disabled table table31
> 2008-05-14 16:19:47,910 INFO org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server: IPC Server handler 3 on 60000, call addColumn(table31, {name: document, max versions: 3, compression: NONE, in memory: false, block cache enabled: false, max length: 2147483647, time to live: FOREVER, bloom filter: none}) from XXX.XX.40.36:47116: error: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableNotDisabledException: table31
> ...
> - the scanner iterates over HRegionInfos of several tables. If any one of those is disabled, we also leave the loop as if the requested table had been disabled.
> I've had this disabling problem occur quite reliably over the last days - today I couldn't reproduce it, though HBase version hasn't changed. ???
