Description

The CreateUser node in the Security randomwalk test can create the "table" user even in the face of an expected PERMISSION_DENIED error. When that happens, and the next node happens to want to change the new table user's password, you can get:

org.apache.accumulo.core.client.AccumuloException: User table_server_domain_com_29780_1389915181300 doesn't exist and they SHOULD.

This happens because there is no delay between the user creation and the password change, as there are for other user creations, added in ACCUMULO-1123.
