> 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.
