I agree with Todd's points. w.r.t. HBASE-4120 and multi-tenant HBase clusters, allow me to point to this discussion:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4329?focusedCommentId=13096986&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13096986 I think there are use cases for supporting multi-tenant HBase clusters where HBASE-4120 provides one avenue.
