Hi! I am working with HBase and I found that when executing a query, the exceptions are being shadowed [1].
It seems that the interface at same point changed from throwing IOException to return null [2]. I have the problem that when the query/connection/mapping fails, I can't show the user any trace of error, since that information is shadowed. Is there any big reason to shadow that information? The fact that I have to control from the client if #execute() returns null or not is not less work that just throwing or catching the exception -and the plus of knowing the reason-. I propose to reintroduce that throw in the interface. I prefer to ask first before creating an issue, lest be a big reason I don't see to be shadowing it.
