Description

I've been running tests before commit and found the following happens with some regularity, sporadic of course, but they fail fairly frequently:

Failed tests:   testOnlineChangeTableSchema(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.TestAdmin)
  testForceSplit(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.TestAdmin): expected:<2> but was:<1>
  testForceSplitMultiFamily(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.TestAdmin): expected:<2> but was:<1>

Looking, it seems like we fail to find .tableinfo in the tests that modify table schema while table is online.

The update of a table schema just does an overwrite. In the tests we sometimes fail to find the newly written file or we get EOFE reading it.
