Review Comment:
   done. A lookup result other than NoSuchTableException or 
NoSuchNamespaceException is now thrown as an IllegalStateException with the 
exception as the cause. Today TableMetadataCache.exists() can only return those 
two (anything else propagates out of refreshTable), so this is a guard for that 
contract, with a test that feeds it a different exception.
