> Key: HBASE-12995
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12995
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 0.98.1
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Assignee: Andrew Purtell
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, 0.98.11
>
>
> [~jamestaylor] mentioned that recently Phoenix discovered at some point the
> {{HConnection#getTable}} "lightweight table reference" methods stopped
> throwing TableNotFoundExceptions. It used to be (in 0.94 and 0.96) that all
> APIs that construct HTables would check if the table is locatable and throw
> exceptions if not. Now, such exceptions will only be thrown at the time of
> the first operation submitted using the table reference, should a problem be
> detected then. We did a bisect and it seems this was changed in the 0.98.1
> release by HBASE-10080. Since the change has now shipped in 10 in total 0.98
> releases we should just document the change, in the javadoc of the
> HConnection class, Connection in branch-1+.
