下面是一个在Windows的Eclipse中通过JAVA操作一个Linux上运行的hbase的示例。
Hbase的配置需要注意下面一些要点:
1，服务器端用主机名配置hadoop和hbase，不要用IP
比如如下：
<property>  
 <name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name>  
 <value>hadoopsrv</value>  
</property>
2，hbase运行的机器上的机器名不能叫localhost
改/etc/sysconfig/network中的HOSTNAME
比如:
HOSTNAME=hadoopsrv
3，修改eclipse运行的windows客户端的C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts文件.
对应到hbase运行服务器的ip,比如:
192.168.2.6 hadoopsrv
JAVA代码如下

package org.apache.hadoop.hbase;

	}

							+ new String(kv.getValue()));

						+ new String(kv.getValue()));
			}
		}
	}

	// Hbase表中记录信息的删除
	public boolean deleteRecord(String table, String key) {
		HTablePool tp = new HTablePool(cfg, 1000);
		HTable tb = (HTable) tp.getTable(table);
		Delete de = new Delete(key.getBytes());
		try {
			tb.delete(de);
			return true;
		} catch (IOException e) {
