Application Development Process

This section describes how to call open source APIs of HBase in the CloudTable cluster mode to develop Java applications.

Figure 1 and Table 1 describe the phases in the development process.

Figure 1 Application development process

**Table 1** Application development process details
Phase	Description	Reference
Understand basic concepts.	Before application development, learn basic concepts of HBase, understand the scenario requirements, and design tables.	HBase
Prepare a development environment.	The Java language is recommended for HBase application development. You can use the Eclipse tool.	Development Environment Introduction
Prepare a running environment.	The application running environment is a client. Install and configure the client according to the guide.	Preparing a Windows Running Environment
Prepare a project.	CloudTable provides example projects for different scenarios. You can import an example project to learn the application. You can also create a project according to the guide.	Downloading a Sample Project Configuring and Importing a Project
Develop a project based on the scenario.	An example project using Java is provided, including creating a table, writing data into the table, and deleting the table.	Developing HBase Applications
Compile and run the application.	You can compile the developed application and submit it for running.	Compiling and Running Applications Compiling and Running an Application When a Client Is Installed or Compiling and Running an Application When No Client Is Installed
View application running results.	Application running results are exported to a path you specify. You can also view the application running status on the UI.	In Windows: Viewing Commissioning Results In Linux: Viewing Commissioning Results
