-----------------------------------
Summary: Bulk load and other utilities should not create tables
for user
Key: HBASE-8361
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8361
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: mapreduce
Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
{{LoadIncrementalHFiles}} and {{ImportTsv}} will create a table with the
default setting when the target table does not exist. I think this is an
anti-feature. Neither tool provide a mechanism for the user to configure the
creation parameters of that table, resulting in a new table with the default
settings. I think it is unlikely that the default settings are what the user
actually wants. In the event of a table-name typo, that means data is silently
loaded into the wrong place. The tools should error when the destination table
does not exist.
