ERROR: Unknown column family! Valid column names:  cf

Here is some help for this command:
Scan a table; pass table name and optionally a dictionary of scanner
specifications.  Scanner specifications may include one or more of:
TIMERANGE, FILTER, LIMIT, STARTROW, STOPROW, TIMESTAMP, MAXLENGTH,
or COLUMNS. If no columns are specified, all columns will be scanned.
To scan all members of a column family, leave the qualifier empty as in
'col_family:'.

Some examples:

 hbase> scan '.META.'
 hbase> scan '.META.', {COLUMNS => 'info:regioninfo'}
 hbase> scan 't1', {COLUMNS => ['c1', 'c2'], LIMIT => 10, STARTROW => 'xyz'}
 hbase> scan 't1', {FILTER => org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.ColumnPaginationFilter.new(1, 0)}
 hbase> scan 't1', {COLUMNS => 'c1', TIMERANGE => [1303668804, 1303668904]}

For experts, there is an additional option -- CACHE_BLOCKS -- which
switches block caching for the scanner on (true) or off (false).  By
default it is enabled.  Examples:

 hbase> scan 't1', {COLUMNS => ['c1', 'c2'], CACHE_BLOCKS => false}

haha

We should handle this better.
