Description

hbase org.apache.phoenix.mapreduce.index.IndexTool --data-table \"my_lowcase_table\" --index-table INDEX_TABLE --output-path /tmp/some_path

results in:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:  INDEX_TABLE is not an index table for MY_LOWCASE_TABLE

This is despite the data table being explictly lowercased.

Appears to be referring to the lowcase table, not the uppercase version.

Workaround exists by changing the tablename, but this is not always feasible.
