[hbase] 'Normal' operation should not depend on throwing of exceptions (e.g. 
NotServingRegionException)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-1724
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1724
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib/hbase
            Reporter: stack
            Priority: Minor


Region server and client logs will have lots of the following when a cluster is 
being loaded:

{code}

The NotServingRegionException exception is thrown when the remote server is no 
longer serving the asked-for region (usually because its been split).  The 
server throws the exception to provoke the client into making a new 
interrogation of region locations.

It would be an improvement if such 'normal' operation was not built atop 
exceptions.  For example, commits might return a 'region moved' message.
