-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Raise an error early during CREATE TABLE if requested 
compression type is not available
                 Key: TRAFODION-1804
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-1804
             Project: Apache Trafodion
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: sql-general
    Affects Versions: 1.2-incubating
            Reporter: Suresh Subbiah
            Assignee: Suresh Subbiah
            Priority: Minor


If a table created with HBASE_OPTIONS (COMPRESSION = 'SNAPPY') but snappy 
compression is not available on the system, HBase will retry upto the 
configured number of retries (35 is default in some configurations) before 
raising an error.

It will make the product more user friendly if Trafodion could detect this 
sooner and not send the DDL request to Hbase.


Here is the DDL reported by Eric Owhadi
create table Customer
(
    c_customer_sk           int not null,
    c_customer_id           char(16)     CHARACTER SET UTF8 not null,
