-------------------------------------------
Summary: Refactor Tables.getNamespaceId to not throw
IllegalArgumentException
Key: ACCUMULO-2415
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2415
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
Priority: Minor
ACCUMULO-2087 introduced throwing IllegalArgumentException if a table does not
exist when looking up it's namespace. This caused bug ACCUMULO-2393, which
handles that case.
However, this implementation is very brittle, because it relies on a runtime
exception, which could hide other errors. It's also throwing an
IllegalArgumentException when really, the argument is perfectly valid.
This code should be refactored to handle these circumstances better, in a way
that doesn't hide potential bugs. Because this is internal implementation
details and a utility method, and not public API, we have some flexibility
here, but we need to ensure we have the correct behavior for every caller that
uses this method.
