In HBase API, does 1 HTable object means 1 connection to each region server (just for 1 table)?
The docs say (http://hbase.apache.org/0.94/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/HTable.html): "This class is not thread safe for reads nor write." I got confused, as I saw there is a HTablePool class, but it's only for a table as well, can't connections be reused for more than 1 table? In my java application, I used ThreadLocal variables (ThreadLocal<HTable>) to create an HTable variable per thread. If I do several operations on each thread, I should still use the same connection, right? []s
