<p>To administer HBase, create and drop tables, list and alter tables,
use {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HBaseAdmin}. Once created, table access is via an instance
of {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable}. You add content to a table a row at a time. To insert,
create an instance of a {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Put} object and after setting it appropriately,
commit your update using {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable#put(Put)}.
To fetch your inserted
value, use {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Get}. The Get can be specified to be broad -- get all
on a particular row -- or narrow; return only a single cell value.
When finished with your Get settings, invoke {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable#get(Get)}. Use
{@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Scan} to set up a scanner -- a Cursor-like access. After
configuring your Scan instance, call {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable#getScanner(Scan)} and then
create an instance of a {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Put} object. Specify value, target column

This means that the ZooKeeper quorum to use must be on the client CLASSPATH.
