public interface HConnection
extends Connection
```
A cluster connection. Knows how to find the master, locate regions out on the cluster, keeps a cache of locations and then knows how to re-calibrate after they move. You need one of these to talk to your HBase cluster. HConnectionManager manages instances of this class. See it for how to get one of these.
This is NOT a connection to a particular server but to ALL servers in the cluster. Individual connections are managed at a lower level.
HConnections are used by HTable mostly but also by HBaseAdmin, and MetaTableLocator. HConnection instances can be shared. Sharing is usually what you want because rather than each HConnection instance having to do its own discovery of regions out on the cluster, instead, all clients get to share the one cache of locations. HConnectionManager does the sharing for you if you go by it getting connections. Sharing makes cleanup of HConnections awkward. See HConnectionManager for cleanup discussion.
