> In some of my code i found it efficient to create a new table without 
> immediately requiring (blocking for) the client to have references to it's 
> HRegions.  Effectively this requires that the client update the table info 
> only as needed.
> Can something like the following method to HClient be added?
> /**
>        * Creates a new table but does not block and wait for it to come 
> online.
>        * 
>        * @param desc -
>        *            table descriptor for table
>        * 
>        * @throws IllegalArgumentException -
>        *             if the table name is reserved
>        * @throws MasterNotRunningException -
>        *             if master is not running
>        * @throws NoServerForRegionException -
>        *             if root region is not being served
>        * @throws IOException
>        */
>       public synchronized void createTableAsync(HTableDescriptor desc)
>                       throws IOException {
>               checkReservedTableName(desc.getName());
>               checkMaster();
>               try {
>                       this.master.createTable(desc);
>               } catch (RemoteException e) {
>                       handleRemoteException(e);
>               }
>       }
> which is basically the same as createTable() except without the 
> findServersForTable(desc.getName())  part.
