Description

The folks at Intel discovered a pretty nasty bug in 1.0 and 1.1 (but not master). Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a table, any table.
2. Disable the table.
3. Restart HBase.
4. Try enabling the table.
The table won't become enabled and the master web UI will indicate a never-ending region in transition. Also worth noting is that mbertozzi dug in and noted that this isn't happening in the master branch.
