[jira] Commented: (HBASE-452) "region offline" should throw IOException, not IllegalStateException

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-452?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12585721#action_12585721 ] 

stack commented on HBASE-452:
-----------------------------

+1 if the new Exception is moved under the client subpackage.   This is a nice improvement.

> It would be nice if I could wrap my HTable.get calls in try {} catch (IOException e).  But that doesn't work, since I also need to catch IllegalStateException.  I think that any time there is something wrong with hbase, hbase calls should throw an IOException (or subclass thereof).  Things like IllegalStateException should be reserved for programmer error.
