**Table 1** HBase application development process description
Phase	Description	Reference Document
Understand the basic concepts.	Before developing an application, learn basic concepts of HBase and understand the scenario requirements and design tables.	Common Concepts
Prepare the development and operating environment.	The Java language is recommended for the development of HBase applications. The IntelliJ IDEA tool can be used. The HBase running environment is the HBase client. Install and configure the client according to the guide.	Preparing for Development and Operating Environment
Prepare projects.	HBase provides example projects for different scenarios. You can import an example project to learn the application.	Configuring and Importing Sample Projects
Prepare for security authentication.	If you use a security cluster, you need to perform security authentication.	Preparing for Security Authentication
Develop projects based on scenarios.	An example project based on the Java language is provided, including creating a table, writing data into the table, and deleting the table.	Developing an Application
Compile and run the application.	Compile the developed application and submit it for running.	Application Commissioning
View application running results.	Application running results are written into a specified path. You can also view the application running status on the UI.	Application Commissioning
