Github user adityakishore commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/443#issuecomment-222385259 The latest patch introduces a separate class `HBaseConnectionManager` and moves the (HBase) connection life-cycle management responsibility from HBaseStoragePlugin to this class. Also addressed Jacques' other comment regarding testing for connection close/abort in `getConnection()` method. Added test which verifies that HBase connection close or even HBase cluster restart does not impact running queries against HBase and does not require Drill cluster restart.
