Besides the template, the package offers support for automatically binding HBase table to the current thread through HbaseInterceptor and HbaseSynchronizationManager. That is, each class that performs DAO operations on HBase can be wrapped by HbaseInterceptor so that each table in use, once found, is bound to the thread so any subsequent call to it avoids the lookup. Once the call ends, the table is automatically closed so there is no leakage between requests. Please refer to the Javadocs for more information.
