Here is related code from CellProtos.java :
public Builder
setCellType(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.protobuf.generated.CellProtos.CellType
value) {
if (value == null) {
throw new NullPointerException();
This means CellType.valueOf() returned null for the Cell.
Which release of hbase are you using ?
You didn't encounter any problem accessing <table_name> in other scenarios ?
Cheers
