HTablePoolEnhanced.close is inherited and should do same thing on the enhanced pool

Jira opened with patch
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4054

Have a look and let me know if it needs changes

This will be very helpful.  Also, wouldn't it be good idea to add close() to 
HTablePoolEnhanced so that underlying HTables can be closed by client apps as 
part of application shutdown.

Subject: Usability improvement to HTablePool

Hi
It look like the usage of HTablePool might be improved. Now, once you
get the connection from pool you must take good care to return it by
calling  HTablePool.putTable(table);
If you close the table  (say, you don't read carefully the Javadoc)
your htable will not be reused.
Other case might be if you build a Datasource like object to obtain
HTables and, in this case, from the client you don't have a reference to
the pool to return the table once done with it.

I've fixed all this by subclassing the HTablePool and overriding the
getTable method

public class HTablePoolEnhanced extends HTablePool
     @Override
      public HTableInterface getTable(String tableName) {
          return new PooledHTable(super.getTable(tableName));
      }

   where  PooledHTable is a inner class that wraps a HTable and
reimplements the close method to return the table to pool

   public class PooledHTable implements HTableInterface {

          private HTableInterface table;

          public PooledHTable(HTableInterface table) {
              this.table = table;
          }

         @Override
          public void close() throws IOException {
              putTable(table);
          }
   ...
}

}

Does it make sense to have this implementation in Hbase also ? It look
that all it needs is to have a new HTableInterfaceFactory implementation
to create some proxy tables like i did.

Regards
Daniel
