Description

Because of how the underlying Bigtable client library works, the first channel pool to be created when useCachedDataPool is set will persist for the lifetime of the process.  

However, running tests with a Bigtable emulator may mean that multiple concurrent hosts are being used (one for each test for example).

As a workaround for now, we should not set useCachedDataPool if an emulator host is set.
