yes i had a very similar issue although i prefer to think about it in terms of hbase and by extension zk connection leak in TableInputFormat rather than adjusting max zk connection to 30 'cause sooner or later you will run out of it too.
The problem is that HConnectionManager now identifies hbase connection by identity comparison of the Configuration object. Which is kind of unfortunate because cloning configuration is a common practice and in reality it means every MR client would open its own connection to hbase. To exacerbate situation, TableInput/OutputFormats do not relinquish unshared connection and there's very little you can do work around this. I posted workaround to this i used with cdh3b4 just a day or two ago. The issue turned out to be a pain as it really quite hard to figure where and whether configuration objects get cloned or not. Also, if you use HTable, be mindful that you may want to release that connection explicitly too by calling HConnectionManager.deleteConnection (conf, true).
