Description

On a secure cluster, when I issued this command where ns1 didn't exist:

hbase(main):002:0> create 'ns1:t1', 'f1', SPLITS => ['10', '20', '30', '40']

ERROR: Unknown namespace ns1:t1!

Creates a table. Pass a table name, and a set of column family
specifications (at least one), and, optionally, table configuration

Here is related code:

          raise "Unknown namespace #{args.first}!"

Simply quoting the argument is not accurate - namespace should be extracted from the argument
