 HBaseConfiguration hc = new HBaseConfiguration( new Configuration( ) );
 HTableDescriptor ht = new HTableDescriptor( "cdrs" );

 ht.addFamily( new HColumnDescriptor( "number:" ) );
 ht.addFamily( new HColumnDescriptor( "company:" ) );
 ht.addFamily( new HColumnDescriptor( "time:" ) ); 
 ht.addFamily( new HColumnDescriptor( "location:" ) );

Answer 1

Have you included the hbase-common dependency? If you are using maven, it will get downloaded as a transitive dependency when you include hbase-client.

Package: org.apache.hadoop.hbase

Also, new HBaseConfiguration(...params...) is now deprecated and instead, you should use HBaseConfiguration.create();

Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
config.setInt("timeout", timeout);
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum",zkAddress);
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort", zkPort);
config.set("hbase.client.retries.number", nRetries);//check for configs applicable or use hbase-site and core-site configs
Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(config);

There is an issue making fat jar on the new hbase version, jars are deprecated with many dependency.So I added hbase-client-1.2.6-jar and hbase-common-1.2.6-jar to eclipse externally .This solved my issue .
