Application Development Process

This section describes how to use Java APIs to develop HBase applications.

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

Figure 1 HBase application development process

**Table 1** HBase 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.	Basic Concepts
Prepare development and operating environments.	The Java language is recommended for HBase application development. You can use the Eclipse tool. The HBase operating environment is an HBase client. Install and configure the client according to the guide.	Preparing Development and Operating Environments
Prepare a project.	HBase provides sample projects for different scenarios. You can import a sample project to learn the application. You can also create an HBase project according to the guide.	Configuring and Importing a Sample Project
Develop a project based on the scenario.	A Java sample project is provided, including creating a table, writing data into the table, and deleting the table.	Development Guidelines in Typical Scenarios
Compile and run applications.	You can compile the developed application and submit it for running.	Application Commissioning
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.	Viewing Commissioning Results
