Jim Kellerman commented on HADOOP-2262:
---------------------------------------
I have a patch for the HTable constructor so that it will not retry if the
table does not exist (however, it does have to contact the root and meta
regions to make this determination).
Consequently, the HTable constructor will throw a TableNotFoundException
(sooner) if the table does not exist. Additionally it will set a flag so that
any other HTable method will throw an IllegalStateException if you ignore the
exception to the constructor and make subsequent calls to other HTable methods.
> [hbase] Updating a row on non-existent table runs all the retries and
> timeouts instead of failing fast

> If you try to access row in non-existent table, the client hangs waiting on
