Create a Table on a Specific Cluster in HBase

[Chamika Kasun <ka...@gmail.com>]

Here i want to create a column family on a selected cluster. In cassandra i
can do this as follows, But since i'm soo much new to HBase i have no idea
how to do this using hbase. please help me out.

In cassandra :

public void createColumnFamily(Cluster cluster,String tableName,String
columnFamilyName,StreamDefinition streamDefinition) {

}

Something like that should work. Might be just a bit different depending of
the HBase version you use.

HBaseAdmin admin = new HBaseAdmin(config);
HTableDescriptor table_page_proposed = new
HTableDescriptor(TABLE_PAGE_PROPOSED);
table_page_proposed.addFamily(new
HColumnDescriptor(CF_DATA).setCompressionType(Algorithm.GZ));
admin.createTable(table_page_proposed, splits);

Column Family in Cassandra is closer to a Table in HBase than to an HBase
Column Family.
