Do we need a create disabled command?
What you describe above I believe is difference between 0.90 and 0.92.
IIRC, you had to disable and reenable to have all in proper state in
0.92. A
table used to be 'disabled' if all regions in the
table had
an offline state (I haven't looked but maybe the old
rename would was
making use of this fact). In 0.92, we made it so state was a flag up
in zk.
Maybe after adding first region, set its state disabled in zk? Then
after all regions are loaded up, enable the
table?
