             Summary: HBaseTestingUtility.getMiniHBaseCluster should be able to return null
                 Key: HBASE-11030
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11030
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
             Fix For: 0.99.0, 0.94.19, 0.98.2, 0.96.3
         Attachments: 11030-trunk.txt

Right now we have this logic:
{code}
  public MiniHBaseCluster getMiniHBaseCluster() {
    if (this.hbaseCluster instanceof MiniHBaseCluster) {
      return (MiniHBaseCluster)this.hbaseCluster;
    }
    throw new RuntimeException(hbaseCluster + " not an instance of " +
                               MiniHBaseCluster.class.getName());
  }
{code}

Since null is not actually an instance of MiniHBaseCluster we'll throw the RuntimeException rather than returning null.
Some tests call this method and check for null, which is pointless.
