How to query HBase views in HBase?

There is no direct support for views in HBase because it is a column-oriented distributed database without the concept of views like in relational databases. However, you can query data by writing HBase’s Java API or using HBase’s shell commands.

In HBase, you can use shell commands to query data in tables. You can use the following commands to query data in HBase:

hbase shell
scan 'table_name'

This will display all the data in the table. You can also use filters to query specific data.

If you want to write a Java program to query data in HBase, you can use the HBase Java API. Here is a simple example of a Java program to query data in HBase:

import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes;

public class HBaseQuery {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
        Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(config);
        Table table = connection.getTable(TableName.valueOf("table_name"));

        Scan scan = new Scan();
        ResultScanner scanner = table.getScanner(scan);

        for (Result result : scanner) {
            for (Cell cell : result.rawCells()) {
                System.out.println("Row key: " + Bytes.toString(CellUtil.cloneRow(cell)) +
                        ", Column family: " + Bytes.toString(CellUtil.cloneFamily(cell)) +
                        ", Qualifier: " + Bytes.toString(CellUtil.cloneQualifier(cell)) +
                        ", Value: " + Bytes.toString(CellUtil.cloneValue(cell)));
            }
        }

        table.close();
        connection.close();
    }
}

Please note that this is just a simple example, and you can write more complex query programs according to your own needs.

Overall, although HBase does not have built-in view functionality, you can still query data by using HBase’s shell commands or Java API.
