Hello, In the documentation for the current HBase version HTablePool's method putTable() is deprecated, and we should use HTable.close() instead.
We are currently using Cloudera's HBase distribution, version 0.90.4-cdh3u2, and are still using putTable(). The Javadoc for this release does not deprecate it yet. Can we safely switch to HTable's close() in this version of HBase? Kind regards, Jeroen Hoek
