[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-4577) Getting namespaceId using tableId when table deleted throws wrong expection

Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4577:
---------------------------------------------

The subject is a bit misleading. The method itself isn't necessarily throwing the wrong exception. A deleted table id is an illegal argument for this method. The problem is that, due to how the utility method is used, the wrong exception gets propagated to the user.

> While working on ACCUMULO-4575 I noticed that {{Tables.getNamespaceId(String tableId)}} has odd behavior.  When the table is not found, it throws an illegal argument exception.  In many cases what should happen in this case is that a ThriftTableNotFound exception should be thrown.  Doing this will cause clients to get a clean TableNotFound exception instead of an internal server error message.
> One possible solution is to make this method throw TableNotFoundException and also offer a new method that wraps, catches TableNotFoundException and throws ThriftTableNotFound.
