Vuk Ercegovac commented on HADOOP-1519:
---------------------------------------

I use openTable in getStartKeys in order to make sure that tableServers is 
populated.
I'd like not to depend on the caller for this to be the case (even though there 
currently is no
other example of a caller). 

I included openTable in TableInputFormat simply to follow the convention of 
openning a table before use.
The subsequent invocation of openTable by getStartKeys should be cheap 
(hashtable lookup).

BTW, why is there a distinction between openTable and enableTable?
