Description

0.94 branch only

Calling HTable.mutateRow() with non-existent column families result in a NPE on the region server which is wrapped into RemoteException and returned to the client. Since NPE is not a DoNotRetryIOException, client keeps repeating it until the number of retries are exhausted.

Negative case, hence creating as minor.
