Description
LoadIncrementalHFiles and ImportTsv will create a table with the default setting when the target table does not exist. I think this is an anti-feature. Neither tool provide a mechanism for the user to configure the creation parameters of that table, resulting in a new table with the default settings. I think it is unlikely that the default settings are what the user actually wants. In the event of a table-name typo, that means data is silently loaded into the wrong place. The tools should error when the destination table does not exist.
