TableOutputFormat ignores failure to create table instance
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4065
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4065
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.90.3
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Fix For: 0.90.4
If TableOutputFormat in the new API fails to create a table, it simply logs
this at ERROR level and then continues on its way. Then, the first write() to
the table will throw a NPE since table hasn't been set.
Instead, it should probably rethrow the exception as a RuntimeException in
setConf, or do what the old-API TOF does and not create the HTable instance
until getRecordWriter, where it can throw an IOE.
