HTablePool的替代者HConnection.getTable(String)

HBase社区从0.94版本开始，已经在筹划弃用HTablePool了，并且决定在0.99中正式弃用（可见HBASE-6580和HBASE-9117等）。在0.94.16 API中，已经可以看到：Deprecated. Use HConnection.getTable(String) instead.

HConnection.getTable的用法示例如下：

public class HConnectionTest {
	private HConnection conn = null;
	private Configuration conf = null;

	/**
	 * creating connection object for HBase, the pool size is 256 by default.
	 */
	public QueryUtility() {
		this.conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();
		this.conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum", "zk1,zk2,zk3");
		this.conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort", "2181");
		
		try {
			this.conn = HConnectionManager.createConnection(this.conf);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			System.out.println("connection failed, process will exit");
			e.printStackTrace();
			System.exit(1);
		}
	}

	public void release()
	{
		try {
			this.conn.close();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
	
	public void queryOneRecord(String strRowkey)
	{
		try {
			/**
			 * the HTable object can also be set the class member.
			 */
			HTable table = (HTable)this.conn.getTable("testtable");
			
	        Get get = new Get(strRowkey.getBytes());
	        Result rs = table.get(get);
	        
	        String strRes = "this row " + strRowkey + " has " + rs.size()+ " versions";
	        System.out.println(strRes);
	        
	        table.close();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

实验发现：也可将HTable设置为类成员变量，这样在构造函数中添加语句：this.table=(HTable)this.conn.getTable("testtable")，然后queryOneRecord方法中就无需再调用getTable方法了。当然，这样需要在release方法中调用this.table.close().
