HTablePool uses HTableInterfaceFactory to return a HTableInterface.
While HTable implements HTableInterface, it doesn't mean calling
getTable method will always return HTable. Depends on how your
HTablePool is instantiated, your HTablePool instance may or may not
gives you HTable instance when you call getTable. For example, if you
create HTablePool instance without passing your own
HTableInterfaceFactory instance, as following:

HTablePool htablePool =3D new HTablePool(config, 10);

Internally, a HTableFactory is created and used for returning a HTable
instance whenever the htablePool.getTable() method is called.

However, to make your code bug free, you could check the object type
first before you cast it , like this:

HTableInterface table =3D tablePool.getTable(myTable);
if(table instanceof HTable)
    ((HTable)table).setAutoFlush(true)
