In HBase, you can use either the Java API or the HBase Shell to check if a namespace exists.

You can use the Java API to check if a namespace exists by using methods from the HBaseAdmin class. Here is an example code:

Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
try (Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(config)) {
    Admin admin = connection.getAdmin();
    String namespace = "my_namespace";
    if (admin.getNamespaceDescriptor(namespace) != null) {
        System.out.println("Namespace " + namespace + " exists.");
    } else {
        System.out.println("Namespace " + namespace + " does not exist.");
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

You can use the HBase Shell to check if a namespace exists by using the following command.

exists_namespace 'my_namespace'

The above two methods of using HBase can be used to determine if a namespace exists, and you can choose which method to use based on the actual situation.
