Github user JamesRTaylor commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/phoenix/pull/191 Thanks for pursuing this tricky issue, @joshelser. I think what you have here is definitely an improvement and should be pulled in for 4.8.1, but I do think we should look at doing a value-based equality check for User instead. There's a fair amount of overhead in what you're doing and Phoenix does not do connection pooling but relies on being able to quickly/cheaply get a connection. Would you have some cycles to investigate that a bit first?
