stack commented on HBASE-4175:
------------------------------
Patch looks generally good to me. You might fix some javadoc if you make
another patch version and add doc'ing of the new boolean return. In future,
you might add override that doesn't take the boolean which defaults to 'false'
then you would have had less code to change. Good stuff Ram.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug

> Currently createTableDescriptor() doesn't return anything.
> The caller wouldn't know whether the descriptor is created or not. See
> exception handling:
> {code}
> } catch(IOException ioe) {
> LOG.info("IOException while trying to create tableInfo in HDFS", ioe);
> }
> {code}
> We should return a boolean.
> If the table descriptor exists already, maybe we should deserialize from hdfs
> and compare with htableDescriptor argument. If they differ, I am not sure
> what the proper action would be.
> Maybe we can add a boolean argument, force, to createTableDescriptor(). When
> force is true, existing table descriptor would be overwritten.
