Description

Out API and shell command around Normalizer is an all-or-nothing invocation. We should support an operator requesting to normalize a table at a time.

One use-case is for someone wanting to enable the normalizer for the first time. It would be nice to do a controlled roll-out of the normalizer, keeping it disabled at first, calling normalize one table at a time, and then turning it on after all tables have been normalized.
