> Inspecting ProxyServer, saw the following:
> {code}
>   @Override
>   public void update(String writer, Map<ByteBuffer,List<ColumnUpdate>> cells) throws TException {
>     try {
>       BatchWriterPlusException bwpe = getWriter(writer);
>       addCellsToWriter(cells, bwpe);
>     } catch (UnknownWriter e) {
>       // just drop it, this is a oneway thrift call and throwing a TException seems to make all subsequent thrift calls fail
>     }
>   }
> {code}
> This means that calls to update which fail to get a BatchWriter (for whatever reason) will silently fail and appear to the user to have written data successfully. This is horrible.
> I'm not sure what the comment means either. I'm not sure why throwing a TException from the server would invalidate the connection, but perhaps I'm just ignorant of some finer details.
