stack commented on HBASE-18241:
-------------------------------

I think in Region it could be getTableDescriptor -- i.e. more specification. 
getDescriptor makes sense on Table because you are asking the Table instance 
for its descriptor ... so makes sense you'd get a TableDescriptor back. On 
Region, getDescriptor would imply you'd get a RegionDescriptor... but that is 
not what is happening... so getTableDescriptor makes sense to me on Region.  
For Admin, we could get away with getDescriptor since we are passing in a 
TableName as argument..  so we'd be getting the Descriptor associated w/ 
specific Table.

Admin#getDescriptor(TableName tableName)
Table#getDescrptor()
Region#getTableDescriptor()

What you lot think?

> Change client.Table and client.Admin to not use HTableDescriptor
