HConnection.getTable behavior on non existent table

[Anand Nalya]

Hi,

With HBase 0.96, HConnection.getTable method used to throw an exception in
case the table did not exist. Based on this exection, I was creating tables
in HBase as required.

With HBase 0.98.3 I'm not getting exception. Is this the expected behavior
or am I missing something.

Thanks,
Anand
