Hi Narenda,
There are some shared static data structures inside the HBase client that
are keyed on Configuration objects. Do you reuse the same Configuration
object everytime you instantiate an HTable? By reusing the same
Configuration objects you may cause ZooKeeper connections to be reused.
I'm not completely sure of any of this, so good luck :)
