API HTable.getMetadata().addFamily shouldn't be exposed to user
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-654
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-654
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Michael Bieniosek
It seems like HTable.getMetadata().addFamily could be used to add a column
family to an existing table, but actually it doesn't do anything (I'm guessing
it just modifies the client data structure). HTable.getMetadata() should
probably return a read-only version of the HTableDescriptor to prevent
programmers from making this error.
