Thanks Sean, HDFS support HSM, so some table can use SSD and some use HDD by setting the storage policy of a given HDFS directory or file. As Anoop kindly replied few days earlier, HBase support set storage policy via ColumnDescriptor, that is nice, but it can only work in HBase 2.0.
We are using HBase 1.2.0, so I want to directly use HDFS API to set the storage policy for a given HBase Table, but I have to know its path.

The mapping from HBase table contents to HDFS Path(s) is an internal implementation detail. It's purposefully not included in any user facing API. The class JMS mentioned can be used to "peak behind the curtain", but it's an internal implementation class so you can't rely on it being present or the same in any given version of HBase. What are you trying to get done with the path? That might help us come up with a sustainable approach, if there is one.
