ACCUMULO_TABLE_DNE

Error message

Failed to set locality groups, table does not exist

What it means

In setLocalityGroups, when Accumulo throws TableNotFoundException the connector throws ACCUMULO_TABLE_DNE 'Failed to set locality groups, table does not exist', meaning the qualified table name passed to Accumulo does not correspond to any existing physical table.

Solutions

1. Verify the table exists in Accumulo shell ('tables list | grep <table>') and create it first if missing.
2. Check the fully qualified table name (namespace.table) matches exactly, including namespace.
3. Ensure table creation completed successfully before configuring locality groups (order of operations in setup).
4. Recreate the table if it was dropped unintentionally, then reapply locality groups.

Example fix

// Accumulo shell:
// before: table never created, setLocalityGroups fails
createtable myschema.orders
// then re-run the Presto CREATE TABLE / table setup so groups apply

// Confirm the physical table exists before configuring it:
String qualified = schema + "." + table;
if (!conn.tableOperations().exists(qualified)) {
  conn.tableOperations().create(qualified); // or abort setup — never configure a missing table
}

try {
  tableManager.setLocalityGroups(tableName, groups);
} catch (PrestoException e) {
  if (e.getErrorCode().getName().equals("ACCUMULO_TABLE_DNE")) {
    // create the table first (or fix the qualified name), then retry
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling setLocalityGroups for a table that was dropped, was never created, or whose namespace-qualified name doesn't match the physical Accumulo table (e.g. wrong namespace prefix or case).

Common situations: CREATE TABLE failed partway so locality groups run before the table exists; table dropped by another process between creation and configuration; namespace mismatch after renaming schemas; typo in the table name.
