The point of bypass is to skip further core code processing. The coprocessor says it has taken care of everything, time to return back to the client taking no further action. What you propose directly contravenes this semantic in place everywhere a coprocessor can call bypass()
{quote}
Hmm...  Sounds reasonable...   
So we should make all "pre" actions respect bypass returned (e.g.  preDeleteTable did not return bypass, we should return it and respect it ), right?  
There are some special case, e.g. preGetNamespaceDescriptor, currently it return nothing, but it should return one {{NamespaceDescriptor}} instance and the caller will use bypass to decide whether we should return it to client or not. 

Thanks [~apurtell] for your reply.

>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: Coprocessors
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
>            Reporter: stack
>            Priority: Blocker

> Lets decide on this one before we release 2.0.0.
> A bunch of methods in MasterCoprocessorHost on the 'pre' step allow returning true which indicates the method invocation is not to proceed.
> Not all 'pre' steps do this. Just some.
> Seems a little arbitrary.
> How we skip out if we are not proceed with the invocation is also a little arbitrary.
> When a deleteColumn call is supposed to skip out, it returns a -1, a non-procId. If we are to skip a balance call, we log that CP said skip and then return false to indicate the balancer did not run (why?). Elsewhere we just exit silently. In createNamespace we used to exit silently but HBASE-14888 just changed it so we throw a BypassCoprocessorException instead... 
> Lets make them all work the same way.
> (This issue comes of chat w/ Matteo)
