Chip Salzenberg commented on HBASE-7464:
----------------------------------------

I think I found a way:

   
http://java.net/jira/browse/JERSEY-1189?focusedCommentId=341322&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_341322

a related Jersey bug report, in which a maintainer suggests to "supply a dummy 
entity to the response - then nothing gets overwritten/reset by the container." 
 e.g.

{noformat}
return 
Response.status(Response.Status.NOT_FOUND).cacheControl(getCacheControl()).type("text/plain").entity("404
 Not Found").build();
{noformat}

Does this work for Stargate?
                
> Sending HTML for 404 is unhelpul; please send short text, or no text, on

> The large HTML 404 page returned by Stargate is not helpful.  The REST 
> interface is not intended for humans to read, esp. when the client is known 
> to be a program because it's asking for binary, but really any time.  Nice 
> big readable error pages use bandwidth and clutter network traces to no 
> purpose.
> Please allow the 404 and other error pages to be configured away, or just 
> stop sending them (my preference).  If some body must be sent, a simple 
> text/plain "Not found" would be fine, I think.
