Description

It seems that string with 0.92.0 we can't create tables in the shell by specifying "lzo" anymore. I remember we used to do better parsing than that, but right now if you follow the wiki doing this:

create 'mytable', {NAME=>'colfam:', COMPRESSION=>'lzo'}

You'll get:

ERROR: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum const class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.Compression$Algorithm.lzo

Bad for usability.
