Description

HBase Shell grant/revoke doesn't check for valid user or table/family/qualifier so can you end up having rights for something that doesn't exists.

We might also want to ensure, upon table/column creation, that no entries are already stored at the acl table. We might still have residual acl entries if something goes wrong, in postDeleteTable(), postDeleteColumn().
