Client Scanner mechanism that is used for HbaseAdmin methods (listTables, 
tableExists), is very slow if the client is far away from the HBase cluster

                 Key: HBASE-1874
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1874
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.20.0
            Reporter: Andrei Dragomir
            Priority: Minor


I have a simple class that instantiates an HBaseAdmin object, and tries to 
connect to a remote hbase cluster (latency about 300ms). 

When doing any kind of simple operation, like listTables, tableExists, it takes 
a huge amount of time, because the mechanism is to instantiate a scanner on the 
client, so for each row in the .META. table, we get a client - cluster 
roundtrip. This is prohibitive in the case of a far away client.
