-------------------------------
@Bright:
Do all tests in 0.90 pass ?
I got the following when applying your patch:
{code}
Hunk #11 succeeded at 1416 (offset 8 lines).
1 out of 11 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/HTable.java.rej
{code}
This is minor.
Running test suite.

> Judging from the javadoc in {{HConnectionManager}}, sharing connections
> across multiple clients going to the same cluster is supposedly a good thing.
> However, the fact that there is a one-to-one mapping between a configuration
> and connection instance, kind of works against that goal. Specifically, when
> you create {{HTable}} instances using a given {{Configuration}} instance and
> a copy thereof, we end up with two distinct {{HConnection}} instances under
> the covers. Is this really expected behavior, especially given that the
> configuration instance gets cloned a lot?
> Here, I'd like to play devil's advocate and propose that we "deep-compare"
> {{HBaseConfiguration}} instances, so that multiple {{HBaseConfiguration}}
> instances that have the same properties map to the same {{HConnection}}
> instance. In case one is "concerned that a single {{HConnection}} is
> insufficient for sharing amongst clients", to quote the javadoc, then one
> should be able to mark a given {{HBaseConfiguration}} instance as being
> "uniquely identifiable".
> Note that "sharing connections makes clean up of {{HConnection}} instances a
> little awkward", unless of course, you apply the change described in
> HBASE-3766.
