It looks to me the right thing to do is to connect()/disconnect(). The only reason I could see to leave it as it is would be if creation/connect were noticeable more expensive operations compared to caching it and reusing the same client all the time. I don't see it being much more expensive although the ClientInvoker location done in 2.2.x happens within a big synchronized block. A jira on this could verify the performance of different options.
