mikewalch opened a new issue #418: Add createIfNotExists method to 
table/namespace operations
URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/418
 
 
   Currently, if you want to create a namespace or table in Accumulo that may 
already exists, you need to try to create it and ignore the exception.
   
   ```java 
     try {
         connector.namespaceOperations().create("mynamespace");
       } catch (NamespaceExistsException e) {
         // ignore
       }
   
       try {
         connector.tableOperations().create("mynamespace.mytable");
       } catch (TableExistsException e) {
         // ignore
       }
   ```
   
   It would be nice if a `createIfNotExists` method was added to the API that 
ignored this exception. This would simplify the above code to the following:
   
   ```java
   connector.namespaceOperations().createIfNotExists("mynamespace");
   connector.tableOperations().createIfNotExists("mynamespace.mytable");
   ```
