Description

HBase shell doesn't have a notion of UncheckedIOException, so it may not handle it correctly. For an example, if we scan not existing table the error look weird:

hbase(main):001:0> scan 'a'
ROW                                                                                         COLUMN+CELL

ERROR: a
