Remove concept of ZooKeeper from HConnection interface
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1762
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1762
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 0.20.0
            Reporter: Ken Weiner


The concept of ZooKeeper is really an implementation detail and should not be 
exposed in the {{HConnection}} interface.   Therefore, I suggest removing the 
{{HConnection.getZooKeeperWrapper()}} method from the interface. 

I couldn't find any uses of this method within the HBase code base except for 
in one of the unit tests: {{org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TestZooKeeper}}.  This unit 
test should be changed to instantiate the implementation of {{HConnection}} 
directly, allowing it to use the {{getZooKeeperWrapper()}} method.  This 
requires making 
{{org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager.TableServers}} public.  (I 
actually think TableServers should be moved out into an outer class, but in the 
spirit of small patches, I'll refrain from suggesting that in this issue).

I'll attach a patch for:

# The removal of {{HConnection.getZooKeeperWrapper()}}
# Change of {{TableServers}} class from private to public
# Direct instantiation of {{TableServers}} within {{TestZooKeeper}}.
