---------------------------------------

Makes sense for MetaScanner to use caching in general.

> I have a simple class that instantiates an HBaseAdmin object, and tries to connect to a remote hbase cluster (latency about 300ms). 
> When doing any kind of simple operation, like listTables, tableExists, it takes a huge amount of time, because the mechanism is to instantiate a scanner on the client, so for each row in the .META. table, we get a client - cluster roundtrip. This is prohibitive in the case of a far away client.
