Imagine you have a cloud of 100 hadoop nodes.
In theory you could create multiple instances of HBase on the cloud.
Obviously I don't think you could have multiple region servers running on the
same node.
The use case I was thinking about if you have a centralized hadoop cloud and
you wanted to have multiple developer groups sharing the cloud as a resource
rather than building their own clouds.
The reason for the multiple hbase instances is that you don't have a way of
setting up multiple instances like different Informix or Oracle
databases/schemas on the same infrastructure.
