Description

Currently there is no function that would open a table by ID, only by the table's name. 

A simple function to the C++ client like this could solve the issue:

Status KuduClient::OpenTableById(const string& table_id, shared_ptr<KuduTable>* table)
{
     TableIdentifierPB table_identifier;
     table_identifier.set_table_id(table_id);
     return data_->OpenTable(this, table_identifier, table); 
} 

After implementing this to the c++ client, it should also be available in the java and python client too.
