It used to be (in 0.94 and 0.96) that all APIs that construct HTables would check if the table is locatable and throw exceptions if not. Now, such exceptions will only be thrown at the time of the first operation submitted using the table reference, should a problem be detected then. We did a bisect and it seems this was changed in the 0.98.1 release by HBASE-10080. Since the change has now shipped in 10 in total 0.98 releases we should just document the change, in the javadoc of the HConnection class, Connection in branch-1+. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
