Each client manages its own connection to appropriate server. + The HBase client is responsible for finding H!RegionServers that are serving the particular row range of interest. On instantiation, the HBase client communicates with the H!BaseMaster to find the location of the ROOT region. This is the only communication between the client and the master. Once the ROOT region is located, the client contacts that region server and scans the ROOT region to find the META region that will contain the location of the user region that contains the desired row range. It then contacts the region server that is serving that META region and scans that META region to determine the location of the user region.
