Description

 

public boolean isTableState(TableName tableName, TableState.State... states) {
 try {
 TableState tableState = getTableState(tableName);
 return tableState.isInStates(states);
 } catch (IOException e) {
 LOG.error("Unable to get table " + tableName + " state", e);
 // XXX: is it safe to just return false here?
 return false;
 }
 }
 

 

When cannot get table state, returning false is not always safe or correct.
