Method ensureTableFamilyExists

src/HBaseClient.java:1180–1183

Ensures that a given table/family pair really exists. It's recommended to call this method in the startup code of your application if you know ahead of time which tables / families you're going to need, because it'll allow you to "fail fast" if they're missing. Both strings are assumed to us

(final String table,
                                                  final String family)

   * @throws NoSuchColumnFamilyException (deferred) if the family doesn't exist.
