要通过Java在HBase中创建一个数据表，首先需要导入hbase-client.jar驱动包。可以在项目pom.xml配置文件中添加依赖：
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.hbase</groupId> <artifactId>hbase-client<artifactId> <version>1.1.0.1</version> <dependency>在添加依赖后，我们需要创建Configuration对象，并指定core-site.xml和hbase-site.xml作为资源文件。
Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create(); config.addResource(new Path("/etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml")); config.addResource(new Path("/etc/Hadoop/conf/core-site.xml"));还需要在Configuration对象中设置hbase.zookeeper.quorum参数和hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort参数的值，这些值也可以在hbase-site.xml配置文件中找到：
Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create(); config.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum", "127.0.0.1"); config.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort", "2181");Configuration对象创建完成后，接着创建连接到HBase数据库的Connection对象，并通过此对象获取Admin对象，它负责实现创建数据表的操作：
Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(config); Admin admin = connection.getAdmin();一旦创建了Admin对象后，可以通过下面的代码创建数据表了：
String tableName = "users"; if (!admin.isTableAvailable(TableName.valueOf(tableName))) { HTableDescriptor hbaseTable = new HTableDescriptor(TableName.valueOf(tableName)); hbaseTable.addFamily(new HColumnDescriptor("name")); hbaseTable.addFamily(new HColumnDescriptor("contact_info")); hbaseTable.addFamily(new HColumnDescriptor("personal_info")); admin.createTable(hbaseTable); }会严重是否存在“users”名的数据表，如果此表不存在就会创建一个新表，列名包括：家庭名、联系信息和个人信息。
完整的程序如下：
