Billie Rinaldi commented on ACCUMULO-846:
-----------------------------------------
It's a better practice to throw exceptions so information about what went wrong
is propagated, so the methods should do that when possible. Iterators should
also make sure to check the boolean returned by super.validateOptions.
> Options validation is inconsistent

> The validateOptions method is used to validate iterator options when

> inconsistently, sometimes throwing an exception to indicate bad options and
> sometimes catching the exception and returning false.
