> The HTable initialization does something like this : 
> {code}this.connection.locateRegion(tableName, HConstants.EMPTY_START_ROW);{code}
> What is the rationale behind this ? What would happen if this region is in flight ? I ran into a problem where I disabled the first region of the table and now I can't create an HTable instance to this table.
> Disabling the first region is like disabling the entire table from a client perspective. I feel this is not the correct behavior.
