Something like that should work. Might be just a bit different depending of the HBase version you use.
HBaseAdmin admin = new HBaseAdmin(config); HTableDescriptor table_page_proposed = new HTableDescriptor(TABLE_PAGE_PROPOSED); table_page_proposed.addFamily(new HColumnDescriptor(CF_DATA).setCompressionType(Algorithm.GZ)); admin.createTable(table_page_proposed, splits); Column Family in Cassandra is closer to a Table in HBase than to an HBase Column Family.
