I guess I'm missing something in the sequence of actions here: 1. I'm disabling the table. This action is synchronous. 2. I'm running the method hBaseAdmin.modifyTable(), which is *asynchronous* 3. I'm supposed to use hBaseAdmin.getAlterStatus() to check every x seconds whether all regions have been modified. 4. Once that has passed, I can finally enable the table, which is a synchronous action. This should signify that the table's region are online, thus have loaded the region observer class and instantiated it - meaning, it has found the JAR file specified in its HDFS location.
hasCoprocessor just checks whether the metadata object has the coprocessor attribute and it if has the className you supplied to it. How can I know that if a classname is present on a HTableDescriptor, then al the tables's regions successfully instantiated the region observer?
