Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-14525:
----------------------------------------
{code}
try {
7022 checkFamily(family.getKey());
7023 } catch (NoSuchColumnFamilyException e) {
7024 LOG.warn("Unknown column family in append operation", e);
7025 continue;
7026 }
{code}
So we will just log the invalid cf and continue with others? IMO we can do
same was as put(Put).. Pls see that. When any invalid CF is part of the
Mutation, it will throw Exception and fail the op.

> This seems to be caused by absence of check for valid family names as done in
> other operations like 'Put' in HRegion.java
